My teak is holding paint. It took several coats to keep the oil from showing 
through.

I read someplace fishermen use exterior house paint to paint their boats, they 
get banged up too often for yacht quality work to be worth it.

Hi Mathew, 

 

I've been told teak won't hold paint.  Mahoghany can be painted but not teak.

 

Last year I painted my fiberglass ceiling.  I had added some fiberglass cloth 
over high stress areas under the clutches and faired with Total Fair, so these 
areas were green.  I chose a good quality exterior latex paint from Behr.  "Off 
White" is the color and I love how it looks.  I chose the Scrub Defense version 
with "paint and primer" is in the can.   One coat using a mohair roller did the 
trick hiding all the differenet colors of fairing and filled holes, ets; all my 
good work and it looks like a new boat, better than when I got her twenty years 
ago.  I chose Behr simply because fifteen years ago, I had Home Depot color 
match my deck and painted a few areas that were scraped pretty bad.  That paint 
never peeled or flaked off after fifteen years, while some much more expensive 
and smelly Brightside paint did within five years

 

There are many good paints available now; Zinnser, Kiltz, but also Rustoleum 
sprays and any good exterior house paint. 

 

I would suggest using a high quailty water based paint for your interior.

As some of you may have surmised by my recent question about varnish (thanks 
for your responses), the Admiral would like the boat’s interior to look less, 
well, tired.  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.
