Painting Plywood Paper tiger
I'm just about to repaint my paper tiger (2nd time) as the paint has worn on the leading edges of the hulls (son drags it up the beach).
I want to use automtive acrylic paint (due to colour choice) what can I use as a sealer/primer on the bare timber?
The last time I painted the tiger I used "International" marine paint. The top coat and primer have been completly sanded back. Once painted I also want to lay a couple of clear coats over the top, just to give it a bit of depth.
Any advice appreciated.

Many moons ago when I sailed Mirrors we would put a fibreglass tape over those areas to offer a bit of protection for 'dragging' up the beach etc.
I thought a two pack would be a better option or can you do this in clear over the colour of your choice as it is as hard as nails.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

I sanded my PT back many years ago and used good marine enamel with great success. Sprayed on too. We never dragged it on the sand though :eek: It was a racing boat.If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.
