    Hey all, I am going to paint the dog-paddles and diagonal cross bars very soon. I was wondering what type of paint would be best for this? Also, should i sand them first if I'm not going to use primer? THanks

    I wouldn't sand them if you aint using primer. Use the krylon paint. You can buy the high heat paint if you want, but i here that the krylon works great and ppl have had it for years with no problems. I would primer tho, just get a cheap primer that better than no primer but ur call on that may bubble if you dont use primer
