painting my boat

[Flukenewsty]

I love the classic colors of my boat however i fell in love with the paint scheme on a jones brothers this fall. I really like the ice blue hull sides. Has anyone done this? If so what pant is reccomended?

A simple question with a not-so-simple answer.

There are many marine (and automotive) finishes these days that work great on fiberglass, one of which is DuPont Imron.

Key to getting a great paint job is exceptional prep, which is where most of the cost of a good refinish job is to be found.

If you want to see what is required of a first class paint job, read this:

Be forwarned though... that thread is already 21 pages long. :shock:

If my boat sells, I will be getting a Judge 27 and getting the Ice Blue hull sides. Judge offers the colors in either gell coat or awegrip. I am not sure which way I would go.

Here is the color scheme I hope to get:

Although I wonder what vivid red bottom paint would look like with it

I work for Toyota and our body shop manager said he would do it, he reccomended either imron or awlgrip as well. They do really good work at the shop I feel pretty confident it will look perfect.

You are well on your way!

I'm certain it will become a classic addition to the CP knowledge base! 8)
