Water proof paint?
#1
I am in the process of tearing out the green astro turf that was in the floor of my boat. I want to paint it white and put down some of that grip tape to keep from slippin and slidin when the paint gets wet. Whats a good water proof paint the sticks well to fiberglass????

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]It is an epoxy based paint made for traction areas. Epoxy will adhere to fiberglass great! Clean up the fiberglass and spray in on. I haven't ever used it but I've heard good stuff about it. Don't know what color it is though.[/size][/font]

suuuuuuuurrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee make fun of the poor air force guy. I see how it is Pred.. [Wink]



Fear not, I am only painting the inside, the floor to be exact. The outside will be the same color it has been. Remember, for fishin', not for fashion.[Tongue][laugh]

Polyurethane is the best and toughest paint you can get. It also sticks to fiberglass. DuPont makes a very high quality brand. I think it's called Enron (sp?) if my memory serves me. I used to spray paint for a living in my younger days and this was the best and toughest product you could use. It's available at any auto paint shop.

Good Painting, Kayote

So Teroy, what did you decide to do with your floor? I've been thinking about a little floor change myself. WH2

Thanks Kayote. I was starting to get depressed because no one knew what to use. I was thinking about getting a grey roll on bed liner, but it was more than I wanted to spend.

Well here it is. I just have to put the locker lids back on and she is done. I must say, the paint turned out better than expected. It looks so much better than the nasty old turf that was in it!! The wife even says so lol[blush]

All this work just to sell her, heck I think I might have even upped the value by about 10 bucks lol

nice job. now I know who I'm calling when I get my boat built. I'm building a wood boat just as soo as I get the garage done first should be done with that in a week or so.

This boat I'm making is going to mostly be for duck hunting but with a few mod.s it will be a great fishing boat also. I made the plans myself after hours of study on how to draw up plans for boats and I think I have a good one to make I made a model down to scale.

Any way you did a good job so you must be the man.
