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]

Its a shame to paint such a unique looking boat. We wont be able tyo find you next year without the ultra-blah color boat. We will always have the memories though.

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

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 [signature]

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 [signature]

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.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Looks good, T! But I can't wait for the porta-potti boat, oh ya! Will it have reading material or do I have to bring my own?[/size][/font]
