Has anyone repainted their interior deck? I am a novice painter and have a few questions. Google searches mostly only address painting the exterior hull of the boat.

Question one: Do I have to take the interior deck all the way back to bare aluminum?

Question two: Do I have to use a primer or can I paint the bare aluminum after sanding, cleaning and acetoning?

Question three: is there any common mistakes people make when doing this process?

Question four: any direction on what grit sand paper to use, best way to apply paint (roller, brush, sprayer, ect)

Really I am just looking for any sort of guidance here before I just dive in.
