Just finished with my second coat of Gluvit over the entire exterior surface of a 12' '60's Alumacraft jon boat.

Need to know what manufacturer / kind of paint is compatible with the Gluvit.

Hopefully its something I can source quickly - I need to get this thing out of my garage and in the water!

Boat will be used sporadically and is by no means any sort of showpiece.

​Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Gluvit can be overcoated with any marine paint or other coating compatible with epoxies.

I'd recommend good old Rustoleum oil based paint and use an acrylic hardener Check the 2nd link below

You're going to be in for a real bad time when that Gluvit starts cracking and flaking all over the place. It really isn't meant as an overall (exterior especially) coating. I used it on my boat as designed on the interior rivets and seams. I do think it likely seeped down into the rivets and seams and did what it's supposed to do but any larger areas (like 1" or more) out from the ribs it has almost all cracked and flaked off.
