Hi guys about ready to start painting the deck which will consist of painting over gelcoat and paint. Most of the deck is gelcoat but there is a 4" wide strip of paint above the rub rail.
I just need to finish repairing a few minor cracks and then will start the painting prep, here are the steps I have came up with but open to suggestions. (Main thing is I am doing my best to follow the procedure outlined for Interlux Brightside paint).
1.) Will use warm soap and water and a stiff srcub brush to thourghly clean the boat. Will rinse with water and let it dry completely.
2.) Will wipe a small area with a clean rag that has been wetted down with Interlux Solvent Wash 202. While surface is still wet, will wipe with a clean, dry rag. Will do this for the complete area to be painted.
3.) Will sand down with 220-320 grade (grit) paper and clean up sanding residue with Solvent Wash 202 with same method as above.
4.) Will apply Interlux Pre Kote Primer and let dry.
5.) Will sand down with 220-320 grade (grit) paper and clean up sanding residue with a rag dampened with Interlux Brushing Liquid 333.
6.) Will apply Interlux Brightside White paint using the roller and brush/tip method, will be two of us painting so one will brush and the other will tip never letting the leading edge dry. I plan on putting two coats down so will sand in between and clean up with Interlux Brushing Liguid 333 before starting a new coat.
7.) Will tape of sections I want to be painted with Black Brightside paint. Before applying this trim coat will lightly sand area taped off and clean up with Brushing Liguid 333. I am hoping one coat will work for the black but if need be might go two coats.
As well I plan on painting either early morning before the hot weather and humidity comes or late evening, as well I will follow the proper drying times between all coats per those mentioned with painting instructions.
Curious what everyone thinks?
