Tips on How to Paint Your Boat...

We've all seen poorly painted boats, with orange peel finishes, dings painted over and a generally unprofessional look to them. It doesn't have to be that way.
The key to a good finish is to begin well, and by that, I mean preparation. Unfortunately, that means lots of sanding, and it's tough work. The actual painting is easy. It really is.
Take the time to read the manufacturer's suggestions, which are available online.  Interlux's Information CD on how to paint your boat - on their website at yachtpaint.com, has all kinds of superb advice, including videos, product data sheets and more, on how to use each of their products to get a professional finish. The video, in case you can't find a copy of the CD, is available online, go to Perfection Paint

just look at the reflection there...beautiful...this video is very helpful

This is a four part video series, and the only advice in it I would take exception to is the suggestion of using a badger's hair brush - they get really nasty and bite when you yank their hair out to use for a brush! No, no, ok - seriously, a badger's hair brush is fine, but you'll find it easier to use a foam brush for tipping. You'll see the technique when I post video of my crew and I actually painting the boat.
Stay tuned.
