    Default Painting Fiberglass boats


    I just found a 1978 old school fishing boat everything is cool except it is brown mustard yellow. Any one have suggestions on painting fiberglass

    First off depending on what color you want covert that without it bleeding through could be a problem. If it was me I would use Emron paint. But you kinda gotta know what your doing to get it right. I'm sure plenty of instructions out there some where. Go to the post CanePoles boat of the month. Look up the one with the red and white old ranger TR10. PM that fellow, it's got a fantastic paint job on it Or CrappieFarmer in NC. He just did a complete rebuild on a boat.

    That old girl would get some polishing compound and a good wax job and we would be fishing. Really clean looking boat for the age.
