surf board epoxy

[paul anderson]

hello all,i have started painting the interiors,my budget is a bit tight so did not want to use a two pac paint but rather paint you can get in a a hardware store.i had been to the specialist paint shops but as soon as they figured out you are not in the market for their super duper expensive products their interest wains.anyway i bought an enamel primer by dulux and also an eterior house paint by the same mob called weathergaurd.neil on this site said he has used aquatec but i could not find it locally.i have primed the hull and top coated it.a friend said i shuold try a surfbord epoxy over the paint as this is uv stabilised and it will be an added protection for the paint especially on the floors and bunks. i have done a test panel and all seems o.k i think this will work well.ps i was a bit eager to paint one floor that had not had the epoxy cure properly and the result was that the paint did not adhere well,ahhh patience.....

Paul,

 

I've used "Porch and Floor" acrylic latex to great effect. . .Very long wearing stuff. Benjamin Moore Paints is an old name in the USA, must be something similar in your neck 'o the woods!
