Recommendation for paint?

« **on:** June 08, 2015, 08:40:25 PM »

I painted my boat the end of last season, but I only threw a base coat of white on. I was going to do a couple more but I ran out of paint and it was already time for season to start. I want to throw a couple more coats on and maybe a clear coat too. Anyone recommend some good white paint? I was going to use the same paint I used for the base, but it was kind of pricey.

Have you looked at the duplicolor pre mixed paint from the local auto parts store? It's $22 a quart and all you have to do is pour into your sprayer and spray it on... I used it on my motor cycle when i painted it and it went on pretty good... Ice used it on a couple motorcycles I've painted and everyone says the paint is holding up well... Pretty damn durable too... Got stuck behind a gravel truck for a few miles getting pelted with tiny rocks and no chips in the paint... They also have clear coats too

Whenever I first painted it, I used this "Top Secret Coatings" mono epoxy paint. I guess it's supposed to be some good stuff, but damn it was $160 a gallon. And I can see this being good for a base coat, but for three or four more coats at that rate, I'm going to be broke haha. But thanks Handyman, I'll definitely check that out. As long as it goes on good and stays on, I'm up to try it!
