What is the best paint type? Could anyone advise what's the best paint type & preparation for a wooden 125's hull. Many Thanks Daniel Cooper 22-Mar-2011    Edit    Delete

Re: What is the best paint type? Hi Daniel I am no expert in regards to paint as I always had someone else do it, but I recall 2 pack was delux back in the day....I guess it depends how flash you want it to be. I am sure someone can help with this one? Altenatively, contact someone from your State Association and they will be able to direct you to the right person.

Re: What is the best paint type? Daniel, unless the hull has been sheathed in fibreglass, you will need to use a 1pak paint. Timber has too much flex for 2pak and it may crack / degrade. Norglass Weatherfast or International have good quality 1pak products readily available from discount marine stores. Greg M 30-Mar-2011    Edit    Delete
