Guys (and Gals), Thinking of painting the white fibreglass exterior of my M15 cockpit. Would paint the seats, and sides, on the inner side, a light gray, to cut down on glare. My first thought is to use a simple 1-2-3 primer and then a coat or two of flat exterior latex. But knowing first thoughts are often, wrong thoughts, thought to ask the group for any suggestions or ideas. Thanks - Brad
Brad. Communicate with Roland Cleveland, maybe he will respond here on get.in touch with him through the MSOG Facebook page, and discuss how to paint a Mboat. Cutting corners will result in poor finish and longevity. Is the current gel coat damaged? IMO unless it is really really really bad buff out the smooth parts, wax, and then be sure to wax every fall and then again in the spring. :: Dave Scobie On Friday, September 10, 2021, brad kurlancheek <bkurlancheek@gmail.com> wrote:

I painted the seating area of one of my sailboats in the marina, with marine oil based paint that lasted for years in direct sunlight, it never cracked, just worn off. On Fri, Sep 10, 2021 at 8:06 AM brad kurlancheek <bkurlancheek@gmail.com> wrote:
