Swim Platform ladder

[frosh coach]

All:
My ladder is peeling pretty badly. This is on a 94 300 Sundancer. Has anyone else had this problem?

Get a new one from Boatfix.

Is that painted aluminum ? Can you use the same process used on white outdrives to re paint it ?

 

[frosh coach]

Yes it is painted aluminum.

I've updated the pictures to show the coating. It looks like it was dipped not painted.

We had a 1994-25' SeaRay and the ladder wasn't painted aluminum. Is it possible that it was painted by the previous owner? Can the paint be stripped and the ladder used as-is or painted with some kind of metallic paint?

I have a similar ladder which is powder coated and has a lifetime guarantee. Perhaps you might want to contact the ladder manufacturer.

You are right, looks more like a thick dip coating rather than paint. I would strip it and see what you have and if it is salvageable either paint or shine it up. Bet you end up replacing it.

I'm going to strip it, and try to paint it white.
