That's why I recommended calling Ameron. Check their web site. They are
very experienced in the painting of large steel tough-duty boats. They'll
have good advice on what to use. I think that if you follow their paint
system instructions that you won't have a problem ...works on big boats all
the time, right? Buy the prep stuff, their primer, their paint and go for
it. Or do it with some other brand, but follow their advice on products and
process.

I have yet to find a metal prep that is worth a flip underwater. You
can encapsulate the metal in epoxy first, then paint it, and that will
work fine. You can't just put underwater paint on metal and expect it
to stay on there.
