Paint selection
Posted: 09 Apr 2019, 13:32
Hi all,
I've finished replacing all the rotten planks (photo attached) and now need to think about painting the hull before turning over to rebuild the deck.
The original colour appears to be maroon with a pink primer/undercoat. I would like to repaint the same colour in a high gloss finish.
I would appreciate some advice on paint selection. I have spray painting equipment and was considering using an automotive paint system - hi-build undercoat and enamel topcoats. Now I'm not so sure. Are 2 pack or epoxy paints superior and can they be applied by an amateur to achieve the high gloss, smooth finish I'm after?
Is there a paint type/system that anyone could recommend?.
Thanks in anticipation.
David
