Re: Magnumdekes 1976 22' Starcraft Islander
Majic implement paint. This is the mix ratio I used= 32 oz paint, 6 oz majic reducer, 6 oz acetone, 2 oz synthetic enamel hardener. Sprayed nicely, I found that I was better off mixing it and letting it sit for 45 minutes and then spraying. First batch I mixed up 64 oz of paint + additives and then prepped, (45min. wait) sprayed the hull, ran short one high side of the hull and quick mixed another 32 oz and sprayed it with no wait time, in ran horribly, no runs other than the one side from where I started that batch.
Moral of the story is for me it takes 96 oz of paint (before adding mix) to paint an Islander hull. Worked perfect on second coat, had enough left to do another coat on the bottom of hull. Had to do some wet sanding this morning to remove the runs, used 320 grit wet dry paper. Rubbed the rest down with a grey scotch brite and water, dried it and wiped down with 50/50 mineral spirits/acetone, and then used a tack cloth after it dried. Sprayed it ant it turned out pretty good I think. It is a 30 foot paint job for sure due to lack of prep, but I will be happy with it on a working fishing boat!
Not Bad
