I stripped the entire hull down to gel coat and epoxy primed it with 2 sprayed coats . Painted to the water line with 2part perfection (white) Then painted the red bootstripe ( also Perfection) over the the white. Will is right, paint manufactures do know their products !
Is your boat painted or original gel coat? If it's gel coat you would only need to properly prepare the boot stripe area by cleaning ,sanding and priming with a compatible primer to the 2part paint you have chosen. If your boat is painted ,as mine was ,you need to get to the gel coat layer and start from there I painted the boot stripe by brush ,that way you only need a decent cartridge type respirator ,if you spray then you need a supplied air respirator Hope this helps DDrake 73 JH C&C 26 > On Feb 4, 2014, at 4:52 PM, Will Harris <w...@waterlinesystems.com> wrote: > > As part of my job, I talk to a lot of do it yourselfers, helping them out > with projects.
