Hello All,
I found some marine paint for $3.00 per gallon, and couldn't pass it up. Will this work on the hull of my fiberglass boat, and/or my trailer? Here are the types, and I have several gallons of each(Sherwin Williams Brand)
*Tile Cald HS High Solids Epoxy(A snd B)
*Industrial Enamel - Alkyd Coating
*Water Based Catalyzed Epoxy (B)
I have access to many more paints/solvents(thinner, acetone, etc...)
Will these work on my project boat, above or below water line? any prep suggestions?
Thanks All!
Jim.:D

Re: Need Help Identifying Marine Paint I Found!

Do these paint's say marine on them?
tile clad epoxy is used in doors and is very chemical resitant, if used outdoors uv light breaks them down fairly quickly.
The enamel should be good for the trailer.
the water base i am not sure of, i know i hate water based paint's

Get on sherwin williams web site go to industrial/marine and do a quick search of the numbers on the can,then look for the product data sheet it will give you very betailed info.

Thanks, and yup, they say marine on the cans. I have googled the numbers and manufacturer, and it seems to be the right stuff for marine applications. I am more concerned about proper prep methods, and below water use.
Thanks.
