Thanks very much for the help, guys! This has turned out to be more complicated than I realized at first.

After much thought and checking out powder coating and other types of two part and one part paints, I concluded that anything I used , no matter how good, was going to get beat up. A dive platform leads a hard life on a boat where the primary activity involves getting in and out of the water. Ease of recoating became a priority. For something this size and easy to get to, I think I'll stick to Easypoxy. I've ordered acetone, alumiprep 33 and alodine to clean, etch, seal and corrosion treat and will get the appropriate Petit primer and topcoat.

I've been holding off posting some pics until I had all the big stuff done. If you like, photobucket as a few pics, mostly of before I bought it, in 'cdavisdb"
