Question Painting underneath fiberglass swim platform

I have a 1997 32' Avanti cruiser. Paint is pealing on the bottom of the swim platform. In most spots I have scraped it down to the bare glass. What is the recommended way to spot paint and then repaint the entire platform.
What products are recommended?

Default Re: Painting underneath fiberglass swim platform

Here's the link to the Interlux painting guide:http://www.yachtpaint.com/usa/home/default.asp
There's a lot of useful info in there. I would stay with a marine paint though, especially in your situation. Obviously the underside of a platform see's very little sunlight ( hope not anyway ) so it does take a little extra care in the prep. Petttit also makes a good product - here's their link :http://www.pettitpaint.com/catalog_browse.asp
