which paint? - Wharram Builders and Friends2024-03-29T11:26:23Zhttps://wharrambuilders.ning.com/forum/topics/which-paint?commentId=2195841%3AComment%3A112671&feed=yes&xn_auth=noFWIW I repainted Dragon (T38)…tag:wharrambuilders.ning.com,2014-01-30:2195841:Comment:1128852014-01-30T21:14:25.512ZDave Vinnicombehttps://wharrambuilders.ning.com/profile/DaveVinnicombe
<p>FWIW I repainted Dragon (T38) a couple of weeks ago. I did her hulls, beams decks and pod. This was a 3 week marathon. I removed the mid decks and the motor pods to get access to the inner hulls. Her original paint was a two part polyurethane, primarily white which lasted 10 years but at the end was oxidising to the point that when I wiped my hand over the paint, a white powder came away on my hand. I had sprayed her originally. The stripes were an automotive 2 part paint. This held up…</p>
<p>FWIW I repainted Dragon (T38) a couple of weeks ago. I did her hulls, beams decks and pod. This was a 3 week marathon. I removed the mid decks and the motor pods to get access to the inner hulls.

I had sprayed her originally. The stripes were an automotive 2 part paint. This held up better than the white.</p>
<p>So I repainted with an automotive 2 part paint which sprayed on very well. I have not redone the stripes, they will be buffed up and that will do the trick.</p>
<p>While cost is always a factor, if it lasts well the cost is well spent. The effort in repainting is huge. While I had help removing and replacing decks and motorboxes, the rest I did on my own. So I opted for what I was told was the best paint for the job. If I get 10 years out of it, the cost and effort will be well worthwhile!</p>

<p>Hi I'm in New Zealand I have just repainted my Tiki 21 Ruru using system 3 water reduced 2 pot. I liked the water clean up and no smell, the price was good as well. Used a foam roller and tipped off with a foam brush.</p>

Hey there Matt,<br/>
<br/>
Contact BoatCraft Pacific, 07 3806 1944, they are near Brisbane, Qld.<br/>
<br/>
Talk to them about Aquacote, it is rock hard when dry, levels out beautifully and cleans up in water!<br/>
<br/>
I've used it on wooden Sea Kayaks and for me it is the ducks guts! In fact I tried to sand one of the kayaks to remove the top coat, got about an 8th done and gave up and simply over coated, it is truly tough stuff.<br/>
<br/>
Good luck,<br/>
Cheers,<br/>
Shaun
