how to paint a SeaSnark

[pkoatest]

What type of paint do you use on a styrofoam boat?<br />The inside of the boat has been previously painted and is about 2" thick styrofoam. The bottom is also old paint but appears to have a thin hard shell. Can you still get parts for this sailboat. I can't find a web site for Sea Snark.<br />Any ideas would help. Thanks. PT

Here is the Sea Snark web site Sea Snark Link . I don't know what to paint it with but it looks like it is ABS plastic from reading the web site.<br /><br />Good luck - Keep sailing<br /><br />Regards,<br />Mike

Hi PT<br /><br />Did you ever figure out what type of paint to use on your Snark?<br /><br />I have an old Snark, which was stripped down to the styrofoam over the years. I've filled the dings and dents with epoxy, and now want to paint it.<br /><br />SS

i painted my sea snark with rustoleum marine topside paint available at lowes and home depot. <br /><br />NOTE: its really slippery, so if you use it for the interior, add some sand to it for grip
