Painting ISSUES!!

[egneg]

Extremly High humidity will cause dark colors to be off color. Black will appear dark milky gray. I forget what the pros call this problem.

The real test is when you remove the hatch tape. Does the paint peel off with the tape. Krylon primer and paint works good in this department (no peeling).

It's called blushing. Actually it happens with all colors but it's more noticeable with darker colors.

This problem has nothing to to do with adhesion ... totally different topic.

Well thanks for the helpful info.
Either way I still say krylon sucks!!

I will make it work for this boat and then I am done with it!!

I sprayed regular Krylon White and Yellow over Krylon White primer and no problems. I have spray regular Krylon Black over Krylon Black primer and no problems. All sprayed over fiberglass or epoxy.

Be sure to use matching recomended primer (read instructions) on every type of paint. Krylon only recomends their brand. I once sprayed two part urethane paint over a spray can primer that was not recomended and it peeled when I removed tape.

If your having problems with painting I hear there is a guy on here that makes vinyl wraps, "put a wrap on it"

I plan to put some decals over the paint.

I will post some pics here when I am done with it.
The boat decided it wanted to fall on the ground and broke open at the seams in a few spots so I am glassing them rather then just using CA which will come loose again in the future.
Apparently the boat wants to make me work to finish it.

I bought a couple cans to test with and Itell you I love it. Try a can, it's not very expensive.

I took a boat that a buddy gave me. Don't know what type of paint he used and his pain job had some krinkle in it.

This stuff painted right over it and it's tough! I tried putting hatch tape on it for a few days an no problem.

I'm going to try it in the sun next.

The thing is you can buy different caps for different spay pattern.

In the video he uses a finer spray cap compared to what you get stock. The stock cap is a lower pressure mist that lays paint down very evenly. I'm going to try some fades etc.

I have to order clear coats as the store nearby doesn't stock it.

Their chrome is quite impressive considering the price & finish.

Which cap do you think works best for spraying boats? Also do you use the low or high pressure cans?

[wparsons]

Can't say for sure with those cans of paint since I haven't tried them, but in general you want low pressure and high volume with a wide spray pattern to get even coverage.

Well guys finally got this thing wrapped up and painted.
Added a few decals for the heck of it.
