hello all
this fall I became the proud owner of a 1968 Kittiwake 23 sailboat... it has been sitting for 10 years unused in a barn on a farm... the owner was not a sailor, he flies planes... I got it for a steal... it has this terrible sky blue paint on the deck.... I am looking to paint it white... what I am looking for is recommendations for the type of paint I need to use... I am on a limited budget so I cannot go expensive, but I do want something that will last a long time... the reason I am gong with RED, is I have 2 jib sails with the red UV protection, a Red boom cover, 2 rope bags in Red, and tiller cover in Red...
also I will be painting the inside of the cabin, the bottom needs painting, and the accent stripes will be redone too
I plan to paint the bottom black, the waterline and gunwhale stripe will be red, the interior of the cabin will be white, the deck will be white...
I have not painted a boat before, so I am looking for advice on the best paint to buy on a fixed budget.... I have posted 2 pictures... 1st is the present, and the 2nd is what I am going for in looks for my boat...
thanks
sincerely
Jess
