Title: Color in resin?
Post by: The Chaz on December 18, 2007, 07:03:29 PM
The resin in my bilge is black.  I want to make it match up to the new floor I am about to install and wondered how I get it to be black.  Do I have to buy it black or can paint be added, brushed, sprayed etc on then another layer of clear?  I want to start tomorrow if the weather cooperates.  Thanks.

I haven't done it yet but I called the place I buy my west systems stuff from and asked them if I could tint there 105 epoxy resin black , and he said no all we have that dark is graphite. I'll let you know how black it turns out.

Hey Chaz,  Why don't you look into the black bed liner stuff?  It's looks pretty cool and suppose to be darn tough.

You can get some black tint , we've used Evercoat "coloring agent" it works pretty decent, out local hardware store carries it.
