Has anyone try using Rustoleum paint. To paint the interior of the boat? Also could you use it on the top side of the boat like above the water line?

Re: paint the interior of boat???????

I know some of the guys on here have used rustoleum to paint the outside of their boats. I think they were aluminum, but I am not sure. I do beleive they used the roll & tip method to do it, not spray cans. Hopefully they will chime in and share their expereince...

sampler-

I painted the interior of my 14' tinny with rustoleum marine paint (battleship gray). I rolled it on with a foam roller and it turned out really smooth.

Cheers,
Kyle

Do a search on "rustoleum" and you'll find it has a long history here.

All I can say is the PO painted on a part of the fiberglass part of my boat and it looks ok but scrapes off really easy. In fact, I scraped it right off.

This has little to do with the paint and a great deal to do with the prep work.

Re: paint the interior of boat???????

I shot the inside of my tinny with rustolium rattle cans. It turned out really nice. I just used an auto rated primer (zinc) in spray cans and regular gray spray cans. I think I used 3 cans of primer and 5 cans of paint.

Here's my boat link:
