Ordered some materials to start putting the deck down. Got caught between jobs and just started a new one. So far pretty Happy. So also working on the yard, made a Wattle fence. Crap thats alot of work. opened the boat to air out. Doing a lot of little richard things on the boat to make sure I'm ahead of the game.
OH yea... The mulch is still there plus some.

Nah, around a garden. All the wood came off from around the house. Price was right. But the heat was intense/humidty.
Came out ok, more to add.
Bamboo saps would have been my choice Sam.

Alright so I've read a million options on paint. The paint will be for the deck and gunwales. I have an epoxy deck etc, not poly. I like Woodonglass rustoleum formula but want to consider upgrades for longevity.
I also want to use out of can colors wihout tinting.
I will be using brush/tip, not spray.
I need a base/primer
I need a color that will bind to the base.
Thinking this may be a trailer queen but not 100% sure.
I just want to do it right the 1st time.
Concerned about the transom if she sits in the water awhile.
Appreciate all and everyone's opinions.

I forgot about this boat..you still working on it?

 

[mickyryan]

Urathane paint.. the end.

 

[Woodonglass]

2 part Epoxy paint or urethane paint are the "BEST" but...You WON'T like the prices Interlux Perfection is approx. 1
$100 for a quart kit which yields around 1 1/4 qts of paint. For your boat you'll need 5-6 quarts. The Rustoleum Formula IS a two part paint but...It's acrylic and there for NOT as Hard and durable as the Epoxies and "Thanes"
Send ZOOL a PM he is VERY knowledgeable about the High End Marine Paints!!!

As with all paint jobs, your budget will dictate the product....with roll and tip, you have somewhat limited choices. Just try to use a system that has an epoxy based primer, and a brushing thinner available to help flow out.

Sterling and Awlgrip will be the best, and most $$$....Personally, I would use either LP.

Pettit and Interlux a close second $$

Or our trusted friend, an enamel like Rustoleum, ect. $

Heres a comprehensive tutorial using Sterling LP.

Thanks for the follow up guys. Looks the ole' standby Rustoleum will end up being my go to.

There u go, consider adding Penetrol or a mix of Penetrol and Turpentine as ur brushing thinner...

What color u thinkin?

 

[kcassells]

Not Sure yet Z. Probably off white with anti skid in another color. I can't seem to find a color selection chart yet. Heading back out to the boat. Finally no rain.

 

[kcassells]

What category of rustoleum brands would be the best to use for above water. I will be adding a hardner and thinner per Woods formula.

 

[kcassells]

I'm good to go. Found the color charts and info I needed.

 

[kcassells]

So my primary tarp split in half over the last few days. Ordered another one. I'm not spending big bucks on them yet. They usually get me thru 1 season. So new season.
Took all my deck pcs into the basment to play with/sand and recoat with EEEEppppOOOxy.
Covered up the gas tank real well and sealed it temp. This rain is Crazy.

 

[kcassells]

So I got banged with the small black ants. Dropped off 2 bombs and closed the cover up. May the best man win.
