    Painting Interlux Bilgekote

    This what I used when I painted the interior spaces of my boat. Epoxy-based and needing of a respirator when you apply it, this stuff wears like iron, and totally encapsulates dirt/mold, etc...

    Rub rail painting - results?

    There appears to be quite a few threads where we have all discussed painting rub rails with vinyl paint, krylon clear coat, etc... Anybody have a feedback on the results of these endeavors? I need to stop the chalky streaks!!!:mad:

    Hi All, I hate to bother you with something this basic but we bought our E27 at the end of last summer, first boat, had a great time on the water, winterized it, got it hauled and covered, the cover's off and now it's time to paint the bottom. Never did that before. The current paint job is in...

    Painting the rub rail

    An earlier post discussed painting the rubrail to prevent chalking, using a product called Vinylon, which is designed for buoys. I found only one outlet for this product, and it is in Seattle. It would cost me 40 dollars to ship a 20 dollar quart to Baltimore. I called a local chandelry...

    Painting the Fiberglass headliner

    Its too cold to paint - so I may as well start planning. I'm going to paint my headliner in the 35-2. Its molded (and moldy) Fiberglass. Any opinions on paint? I've read everything from exterior house paint to interlux brightsides. I wan't this to last but am open to the "non-marine"...

    Restore your Hull without painting it.

    Ericson Owners I have discovered a product that brought my hull back to life. :) A couple of months ago I was walking down my dock when a Mason 43 came back to its slip after having some work done in the yard. I noticed that he had his hull painted and I asked him what it cost him and he...

    E-27 Deck Painting

    I am going to attempt to paint my decks. Any suggestions on what paint to use that will be easy to apply and look good. Also any tips on prep priming and application would be great. I plan to remove all the deck hardware once the mast off and she is on her cradle at the end of the season. I will...

    Painting Crisis (Longest Post Ever?)

    First, let me apologize in advance for the length of this post. I am new at all of this and I really need some guidance and, perhaps, a little encouragement. I'll try to set out my questions at the end of this lengthy post. I bought a 1985 Ericson 26 last August. My first boat - and she's a...

    Bottom Painting

    This winter, I'm going to have my boat bottom professionally stripped and painted. The bottom itself seems to be in great shape. A friend recommended that a barrier coat(s) of 10 mils be applied, before the bottom paint. Any thoughts on this? Greg 1988 E28

    Painting acrylic (plexiglas) sheet

    Hi folks, I am finishing up my first overhead hatch this weekend - replacement of the 1/2-inch thick acrylic. Learned alot, didn't swear too much, turned out pretty good (iidssm*). This weekend I'll take it to the boat for a test fit and see if I have to replace the gasket also. I used...

    properly painting aluminum

    I haven't found any previous discussion on this subject so here goes: What is the proper way to prepare, and finally paint aluminum, such as spars, spreaders, etc. :confused: I recently had to find a replacement for my E27 boom (which has been an adventure in itself) It came from LeFiell...

    Painting the mast?

    Hello everyone, the boat is about to get hauled (very late!!!) and I am going to take advantage of the first season over the past few years that I will be able to do some work on the interior and exterior of the boat.

I was told i could sand down the original textured ' non-skid', tape around the patterns of old nonskid, and paint in two tones- using textured paint in the areas where there was texture. I was told a single part poly paint would...

    I would like to hear the experience of anyone who has had his or her spars or hull painted professionally. I plan to have my spars Awlgripped (they are white Kenyon powder coated) this Winter not only for cosmetic reasons, but to stop corrosion around the fittings. However, I have never owned...
