    Question Painting Hartley

    Hi all,

    Some advice on painting Hartley would be appreciated. I have sanded from the deck up back to timber and would like to know the types of paint and primer to use. I will be spraying the boat. Also if there is any type of clear protective paint that can be sprayed over the paint.

    Below decks are in good condition I have just sanded back slightly to rough it up abit to give new paint something to bond to. I would like to know what type of paint (2 pak or other) to use and also if there is a clear protecting paint I can spray on. I will be using this boat as a fishing boat on the lakes so there will be times when I will be dragging the boat up to the shore. What type of protection should I put on the bottom of the hull to give added protection.

    Thanks in advance
    csp

    Get the best quality marine enamel you can buy. I only ever used one pack enamels on my boats but others swear by the 2 pack. It's up to you but as long as it's quality stuff, it should be fine. Same with the undercoat, follow the directions on the paint cans.

    I stipped back my PT all the way many years ago and gave it sprayed the new paint on. It took lots of thin coats but looked like glass ! Don't put it on too heavy and be patient.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.
