One of the POs years ago repainted Gemma in a 2 pack* paint.* Both hull and topsides.* I dont know how long ago but it has deteriorated to the point where the topcoat is flaking from the undercoat.* Even light pressure such as a water hose peels large patches of topcoat.* It seems the undercoat wasnt sanded well enough as the topcaot delaminates from the undercoat.
So Im going to have to remove it all and repaint.* Eventually.* The hull first, which I want to get done professionally and then later the topsides which I will likely do myself. (Note: the antifouling is out of this consideration, although it will also be redone).
I would like to use a 2 pack for the hull and probably a single pack for topsides so that I can do that painting progressively myself ( due to $$$).
So Im thinking what to use.
Hull:
- International Perfection 2 pack but Ive had a bad experience.* It dulls really quickly ie 12-18 months in my experience
- Dulux Durethane 2 Pack worked great for many years on a ski boat I painted
- Awlgrip has a great reputation - any opinions?
- Jotun is what my surveyor is big on
- Ameron is what my prospective painter has used but I wasnt very impressed with the final finish on a boat he had had sprayed.
Topsides:
- International Brightside has been disappointing on internal flybridge seat areas.* It has severely moisture blistered.* But lots of folk have used it.
- International Toplac.* PeterB speaks highly of it I believe.
- What else?
Obviously I would like to get a colour that I can use in single and 2 Pack so that probably locks me in to a single paint manufacturer.
Thanks for your thoughts.
