I’ve had 2 older C&Cs, a 30-1, and a 41. I was told by Southshore and others that the original bilge paint is “ polyester gel coat” tinted light gray. My personal observations seem to indicate that is correct. It is very hard, tough, durable, and chemically resistant. I would doubt that C&C would have used lead based paint. If not gel coat, maybe it could be epoxy. I do know that it sure doesn’t seem to be a latex, or oil based lead paint.
Intellux sells a gray or white Bilge coat that is epoxy or polyester based I believe.

Subject: Stus-List Engine Room Original Paint I've been cleaning up the engine room, which has included some sanding of the original paint in there. Is there any chance that paint has lead in it?
