trooter Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 That would be Kevin Hughson, He painted a Shetland not long ago for himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyumpi Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hi Erter, I did a fibreglass hull a few years ago using International Toplac and foam rollers. It came out really good, much better than I expected, and we got 5 years out of it.There were two of us, one cutting in and and one rolling, so that maybe helped and it was done inside a shed as well. The hull had previously been painted and I gave it a good going over with 120 grit before finshing with a lighter rub of 240 grit.Spraying by a pro should be the bees knees but you can get a very good finish off a roller as well.

mhutch Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Ive found that toplac really does last , keeps its shine in salt water very well , dunno how 2k does in the sea ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
