so which paint

[Bushwacker]

FYI - Signature is easily cleaned up with denatured alcohol if you get to it before it cures. (Within an hour or two)

I'll probably do my deck and cap next year-I'm going with the signature.

I should be trying out Signature this weekend if the rain will hold off. Orignally I bought it for my fishboxes due to how tough that I hear it is but am going to coat my console as well. I thought it was cool that you speak with the inventor and owner of the company when you call to order. Tom was very helpful over the phone. I have no experience with marine paints so it should be an adventure.

After some reserch I am going to go with Signature.
1st the fumes with Awlgrip concered me and you can repair Signature where youcan't with Alwgrip.
And with me having 2 teenage boys... well you get the picture.
I sent Tom @ Signature an email asking for what to get and colors combinations with the Seafoam Green I plan to use on the hull sides.

I did call Seacraft yesterday to ask what they shade of white they use on their new boats and they kind of fumbled around a bit but eventually came back with Bone or Ice white for the interiors. I wonder if that's correct?

Well anyways the weekend is here and it's time to borrow a trailer and try get the boat to my mother in laws house and prep any last minute things.

Tom can mix up virtually color you want. I wanted a green to match the color of my Sunbrella top; all I had to do was find out the name of the color (Aquamarine). He has the formulas for all the Sunbrella colors. I later took him a piece of fg I cut out for a hatch next to rear seat and he matched the gel coat exactly. The stripe between my bootstripe and bottom paint (and sides of steps) is that paint and it's gelcoat above the boot stripe. From 10' away, it's impossible to tell which is gel coat and which is paint!
It's an off-white or ivory color, maybe Hattaras White. He called it "Denny White" and has the formula so I can order more anytime I need it.

Here's one tip for the bottom - figure out where you're gonna put the boat stands before removing from trailer, and paint those spots before you put it on stands, using a small 3" trim roller. This will allow you to get familiar with the paint and even experiment with wet sanding/buffing for any future repairs if you want, in an inconspicuous spot. Wet roller/dry roller will give least amount of orange peel if you plan to buff it. It's easy to mix up a small batch of paint using 5, 10 and 20 cc plastic syringes. If you use a tightly sealed container, like a yogurt, margarine or cottage cheese container, left over paint will even keep overnight! Capt. Chuck can give you a lot more tips if you send him a PM.

If you go SF, go to the Dollar Store and buy some turkey basters, measuring spoons, measuring cups and wax coated cups. These help out in mixing the paint and are very cheap and disposable. I have painted two boats with Toms product and it is very easy to work with, just have to mix it correctly. By the way, talk to Captian Chuck before you paint.
