The first boat that I painted was in 1982, a Westerly Cirus. At that time the magazine Sailing had a eleven page article on the process. Since that time, I have not seen any other explanation that was so simply and could be followed. Since then I am now on my fourth refit. The
paints are all about the same, but it is the prep. Follow the directions to the tee, do not take any short cuts. Have plenty of cheesecloth. If brushing, use a badger hair taper long handle brush (expensive) Use paper strainer to strain the
paint into a small plastic container. Always walk through your area and imagine panting in the area.
Back to the
paints. Two parts poly will last to years inside. Like interlux or petit.
Two colors inside, I would question why, dark color will make the area look smaller and hotter. Finally have plenty of thinning made for the that
paint.
There are alot others in this group that have more experince than I. Wait till someone else gives you more info.
