Topcoat Phase 1
|
|
In Australia there seems to be two makes of boat paint readily available. Newport (by Wattyl) and International. Newport is cheaper but the International product is very well marketed for the DIY'er. I was committed to the International product when at the last minute I decided to give the Product Manager at Wattyl a call and get the lowdown on their product as it is Australian plus much less expensive.
The International product is able to be applied with a roller and brush where you roll the pain on and 'tip it off' by dragging a brush over the wet paint. The Wattly bloke told me the Newport paint should work the same but it's never been formally tested.
Never backing down from a challenge I decided I'd give it a go. I’ll start with the undersides which is not so visible and if it doesn’t work I’ll sand it back and get it sprayed!
The bottom of the hull (not the deck) in this picture has it's first coat of topcoat!
