Topic: Which Paint? Posted: 16 Feb 18 at 8:08pm |
I am renovating an old wooden Enterprise (13354). She is in sound condition but just needs some TLC. I am in the process of stripping the paint from the hull and would like some recommendations for paints and varnishes. My plan was to first epoxy the deck and then layer the varnish. Primer, undercoat and topcoat for the hull (in white).
Not sure which paints are considered to be in favour without breaking the bank. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also planning to apply varnish by brush and the hull by roller and 'tip' method. |

Remember to avoid anything from a DIY shed/store and be aware that if it is called "Yacht Varnish" it is usually for indoor woodwork - read the tin carefully.
Brands? International, Blakes, can't remember the rest? |
