Default Hydro-Turf

I have painted 3 boats with roll on bed liner stuff, but I'm gonna install Hydro-Turf from now on.

If you need some tips on roll on stuff I can help u out though.

Default Line-A-Boat

Clean metal with acetone, and score it if possible this will help the 1st layer stick.

Use thick nap rollers.

Most important part---Apply the 1st layer very very thin, the liners I used worked very well as a primer.

After 1st coat is dry you can use a thicker nap roller to apply a thicker layer or layers.

You can play with the texture when applying your last coat. If your happy with the smoothness or texture then let of dry.

If you want more traction, take your roller and roll it over the surface when the paints still "wet" but tacky. This will "lift" up the paint and provide traction and texture.

I have applied 3 coats in a few hours before but the weather was much drier than we have now.


Good luck, holla if you have any more questions.
