Re: Fiberglass Paint

You definitely want to paint exposed glass. Interior bilge area..bilge coat, exterior, plenty to choose from. Epoxy based paints are the best next to Gel coat ( not recommended to apply outside of a mold ).

Re: Fiberglass Paint

I just tried some gelcoat (1st time:)) on some floor repairs and a ski locker tonight...

I'll get some pics when it's cured. I added a wax surface agent, we'll see.

I used Rustoleum oil based paint. Worked very well.​

Re: Fiberglass Paint

I am looking for some kind of primer and paint to do the inside of my new transom and was wondering about when I get the new deck on should I primer/paint that even though I am going to put carpet down?
