Matt, I painted Calypso’s fiberglass overhead with Brightside this winter. I prepped by removing 40+ years of old paint and primers then faired and sealed with epoxy materials. In many places I was fairing over repairs.
I used an epoxy based high build primer, several coats as a sealer and transition coat. The results were good assuming I throttled back my expectations from “the look of the hood on a fancy car” to better than the right rear quarter panel of a pickup truck.

Our boat is a Custom “stick” boat, so it does not have fiberglass liners, headliners, and the like. The interior ceiling needs some TLC. I thought about covering it with a vinyl fabric (to reduce the military look that I personally like), but the Admiral thinks that a fresh coat of white paint will suffice. I’m thinking about Zinnser interior bathroom paint, which is marketed as effective against mold and mildew. Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance. Matt Wolford C&C 42 Custom
