For Trailers I use Rustolium......<br /><br />On Fiberglass, or Aluminum Boats I Spray 2pt. Ureathanes,... Which I buy at My local NAPA........<br />MSU is Pretty Good Stuff....<br /><br />I've had Great Luck with both the Basecoat/Clearcoats,+ the 1 Shot Colors......

Re: Paint Qualities

Kirker Paint Co. Newburgh, NY, they have been business since 1892, and in my opinion the best coating for the money.<br />I have been slinging it on boats for 12 years, user friendly, good texture, scuff resistant, repairs easy, equal to or better than DuPont Centari for half the money.<br />Wimbledon White, with wet look hardener, color equals gelcoat white on the high dollar boats.<br />Should be available at you Cali automotive paint<br />stores. <br />Here's a link to their site, give them a call for a distributor in your area.<br /><br /> http://www.kirkerautomotive.com/acrylic_enamel.html

Hi,<br />Have a look at what these guyes accomplish.<br />It is amazing how good a boat can be painted by pros:<br /> http://www.yachtcare.se/Lackprojekt.htm <br /><br />(look at that 23' Lancer... a wreck that became a diamond in hands of this company)<br />All text is in Swedish but the pictures should tell all that is needed.<br />They seem to prefer AWLGRIP paint.

Bo:<br />I don't know what that boat would be worth in Sweden but here in the states it would be mega-bucks.<br />I am finishing up a 1977 flywheel forward Chris Craft, original engine, original carpet, new seats, new paint. Already appraised at $15,000.<br />Restored old C.C. bring good money over here.
