LakeBoat Lough Derg Advice on painting

GalwayGareth

Hi, new to the forum so sorry if I missed similar advice - new to boating and just got a lake Boat, fibreglass with wooden seats. 19ft lake boat just taken out after a few years in the Lake. I was thinking of painting the the fibreglass boat and wanted some advice - it is in decent condition so just wanted to freshen up - what should I use and where is best online to order? Cheers, Gareth

I use this https://marineparts.ie/international-toplac-paint-750ml-or-2.5l-premium-gloss-marine-enamel-for-all-substrates-above-the-waterline.it-is-exceptionally-easy-to-apply-by-brush-or-roller-and-pad-and-c/ you will also need a primer called pre-kote by international https://marineparts.ie/international-pre-kote-white/, if your gel coat is good try polishing it first instead of painting, once you paint you can't go back to the gel coat finish. Marine parts will post and I think it free over a certain price, you could also try CHmarine. https://www.chmarine.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8e-gBhD0ARIsAJiDsaUY-qiOKqCc2jxKLEOzWwYVsCzct_JuN8LiAFyh7rOIw6Ier28hbZMaAvKJEALw_wcB or any local Marine shop I'd say they all carry international paints.
