Its been a long time since ive posted on here even though i browse the forums allot. So hello to all. I have questions about paint.
I feel certain that there is probably a good thread on the subject that would answer my questions but i have yet to come across it. Feel free to point me in the right direction. I have a few different boats and have a small amount of experience painting. In the past ive painted a twelve foot jon with krylon primer and paint, and ive painted a ten foot wooden sail boat with Interlux primer and interlux brightside. The sail boat turned out pretty good considering i brushed it on. I put allot of work into sanding and prep. I also refinished the mahogany with captains spar varnish. My questions concern jon boat paint. What kinds of paint do the boat manufacturers use? Or how can i achieve a paint job that looks factory jon boat green? I would be open to buying a paint sprayer and learning to use it. Im just not finding any camo colors in the high end marine paints like interlux. Im currently fixing up a fourteen foot jon for crappie/duck hunting and want a higher end look than krylon spray paint. I think the only paints listed on the products list thread were steelflex and reelfootcamo. of course we all know about krylon and rustoleum. Any thoughts?
