[C38] Listserve Digest, Vol 2, Issue 19

The key to a good paint job is the prep work. Prep by sanding and filling every scratch and nick you can find circle tyhem with a pincil and fill and sand each one the pincil will sand off. a good primer is going to fill any small scratches its called a "high build" primer. I think its best to use the primer made by the company who's paint you chose to use. I went to an Interlux paint seminar and they roll and tip using a vertical stroke and not horozontal. The vertical stroke leaves a better wett edge which is where you need to start your next pass someone is following with the "correct" roller to flatten the paint. The result is Interlux Prefection Paint thats the name is beautiful when done this way. So Sand prime fill prime fill sand until it looks like a new hull and then paint it it should last for years. Time is important with yard prices as high as they are so i think you need to plan on a minimum of seven days unless you have allot of hands ten to let everything cure.
 Interlux has a great site at www.yachtpaint.com. I see alot of people painting with TopLaq and some of the enamels but they will have to do allot of repairs in a copup[le of years when it starts to peel you don't need that your yacht like all Catalina 38es are very sexy when they shine. PREP PREP PREP.
