Title: What paint
Post by: Flew on 20 May 2010, 11:32
Some painting advise please. i have recently bought an IC to sail on days when my daughters not available for the 12. I've stripped it down filled, faired and epoxy primed. Now I want to paint it with something very bright. Any suggestions of a good paint for this as most yacht 2-packs are pretty dull colours - someone suggested acrilic! Anyone used acrilic or know anything about it. lastly, I can normally get a good finish with roller and laying off with a brush, but I might try spraying. Has anyone tried using a cheap airless spray like you can buy in Machine Mart? any tips as the painting process will be carried out in my garage.
 
Cheers
