Aluminum boats and tanks: to paint or not to paint? i am frequently asked: should i paint my aluminum fuel tank? what do i use to paint it? how do i do it?. I have a 12-foot aluminum jon boat, which i use for fishing. last season it started leaking. it seems to be coming from the seams or rivets. i think i need to seal. Interlux trilux 33 antifouling is a bottom paint specially formulated to be used on aluminum boats, but also works great on wood and fiberglass. bright and white colors..
