Hi Patrick

I use Blakes Deck Paint on the anti-slip areas (Stone Colour). Looks
good and easy to apply but needs careful masking off first.

I use the cheapest anti-foul I can get hold of! Depends in the area on
the effectiveness of the anti-fouling

Cheers

We use International's Interdeck. Works well provide that you are very thorough about rubbing down the existing/flakey stuff first; though the fact that they've recently discontinued the colour which mine's painted is a pain in the behind.

I also have no problem reccomending interlux brightsides one part urethane. I used it on a catalina 22 I was refinishing, and it worked out very nicely. I cant say how many years it will hold up, but it held up for 1 year just fine. I have a large dog who went sailing with me, and his claws only managed to impart a couple scratches (this is impressive, he should have scratched the heck out if it). I used their primer and all their thinners. I rolled the paint on and tipped it with a decent brush.

Next go around I will probably use a 2 part finish though. Simply cause they are better, but harder to work with. I had NO difficulty working with the 1 part, so I figured I should give the 2 part a shot.

A lot of pros apply paint by the roll and tip method, and it makes a great job - when done well looks almost as good as sprayed. It takes 2 people. One rolls the paint on in a THIN layer - don't load up the roller. The other immediately brushes across the paint lightly, just to knock down high places in the rolled paint. A foam brush works well for that. The brush must not be entirely dry, but should have just a small amount of paint on it, more or less squeezed or brushed out. The teams works quickly and the paint goes on very nicely.

My experience with roll and tip is not extensive and no doubt others in the group can add to the discussion.Nicholas Walsh

The method seemed to work well for us. I think you described it pretty much how it works. The consistency of the paint mattered quite a bit (how thin or thick) Dont be afraid to adjust it as you work.

For us it worked out more to me being the paint applier and my girlfriend being the paint brusher. Sometimes she just breathed on it with the brush, other times she ended up actually brushing the area. It all depended on how big a mistake I made, and what the area we were painting looked like.

It seemed to work best when I could get the paint on just right so that all she had to do was pass over it once with the brush lightly. However she spent alot of time brushing fairly heavily, and it turned out looking just fine. It was hard to put the paint on just right with the roller (on the deck, the hull was EASY) So sometimes she had to get creative with the brush.

Get the book "this old boat". It tells you how to paint in great detail. Consider going to private mail. Good luck V2137 TJBurkett tjburkett@... wrote:

Just a thought about painting in general. We had a
local fibre glass pro in to speak at the club last
month and his first piece of advice about painting was
"don't, unless you really have to." His point was
that the original gel-coat is always going to be the
best exterior surface and before resorting to painting,
at least try a gel-coat restoration product of some
sort plus an annual buffed polish.
