Painting Interior! Need for Info.
Dan, Many of us would like to help you out, but your question is so vague that an intelligent response is not possible. What kind of boat? What kind of material are you painting? Are you talking about restoring teak or other hardwood surfaces? Jon McClain

Bit Joe is right need more info for what you are painting....wood??/ fiberglass???,,ect. Your in detroit...many paints will not cure unless you have a min of 50 degrees....may be better off waiting until spring.

thanks for the help John.I have an o day 25. The bulkheads and cabinets need cleaning up.they are made from some composite material with a faded formica type material over it also it has been painted by the previous owner with something clear to give it some shine it also needs several screw holes filled in.I would leave the real wood trim.
Easypoxy...West marine
Just did some of the edges in my H22. Used Easypoxy and it was awesome. Only took one coat and it had a finish like it was sprayed on (brushed it). Great Stuff! Really coats things nicely and it is pretty think for covering things.

We redid our old Alberg ( )
used Zinzer's bathroom paint--it comes in both oil-base and latex. It's mildew-inhibiting, so it's kind of natural for boats. Use both the primer and finish coat--it does a great, durable job. Fair winds, Bill

Interior paint ....
Dan, I agree with Bill ... I went through the same worries about what to paint the interior of a 30' racer cruiser. The hull was originally lined with a vinyl fabric which had deteriorated. We stripped it off and tried to remove the remaining glue. Forget it !!! We used a mildew inhibiting bathroom paint which covered great and it has served us perfectly for over 6 years! The paint supplier showed us that it was, in fact, the same paint as a marine version which sells for 4 times as much. It is easy to touch up if necessary, requires no mixing and is non-toxic so working within the closed space of the cabin wont kill off too many brain cells! fair winds! Dave
