Default Any suggestion

I'm thinking about taking the carpet off the front and back deck of my bay boat and paint it. Any suggestion on what kind of paint to use the fiber glass. Also would like to do the floor too. 17ft fiber glass bay boat.

Take the carpet off, then haul your boat to Lyle Johnson behind the Northgate Mall on Evergreen St. He is the best fiberglass guy in our area, and does the work for all the major insurance companies. He will shoot your floor after laying some gelcoat on it and it will be more afforadable than you think!!!! Will look a lot better than paint and last forever. Tell him "Foti" sent you, and you won't be disappointed!!

I painted the floor of a fiberglass boat with traffic marking paint. Looked good and was tough as nails.

It should be gelcoated unless you go with hydroturf or similiar material.

you can coat it with a two part epoxy primer(gray) which is as tough as it gets..mix small batches, rolling it on and throw you a little sand in it as you coat it..absolutely the cheapest route, do-it-yourself way that will last as long as the boat will..You can go to a local auto-paint supply an ask for it in PPG.I covered my old kenner with this, it mixes 1-1 which was two usable gallons. Check out my thread "1990 18' kenner".

It was PPG Marine Coatings, Amercoat 137 Epoxy Primer..for an old boat all you need, unless you plannin on restoring it. CHEAP!
