Hello There, Im a newly Registered poster, but i have been reading threads for awhile. And i know that most of you are very knowledgible about Boat Restoration.
This is my first project ever, my first Bass Boat ever. I got a heck of a deal on the boat and im trying to make it look a little nicer. This entails Painting and recarpeting. I have stripped the carpet, and wood floor from the boat. and now i am ready to prep for painting.
I was told to wetsand the boat, then i planned on using TSP to clean the boat and Hammerite Rust-Cap paint to paint the hull and inside. Is this a good idea? Could someone give me advice. Should i wetsand it, how long do i sand it? what paper? Is the TSP a good idea? Is The paint a good Idea?
Below are links to help you help me.
I Value any Help you can give me on this project. I am very excited about my new (to me) boat!
