No. The wrap does not need a sanded or scuffed surface to adhere to. However especially with aluminium boats any sharp edges from pre-existing chips or scrapes will need to smoothed as they can pierce the wrap.

Yes! A wrap performs excellent over bare aluminium.

No, you should not wrap over damaged paint! Couple of reasons, first is that the wrap will conform to whatever texture is below it, scratches, cracks etc will still be seen. When it comes to for a removal the wrap will in most cases take the failing paint with it. You need a clean and sound substrate for the vinyl to adhere to.

No. Wrapping your boat will not damage the surface with the exception of wrapping over damaged paint as stated in the previous question. The wrap will actually protect your boat from the elements and because we only use Avery Dennison’s highest quality films, they are easy to remove in the future.
