Hi All!
I have a 1982 42' KK and at some point in its life, the salon top/flying bridge was refiberglassed and then a coat of LineX was applied (about 20 years ago now as best I can estimate). I am sure that the product is LineX (franchised product - which is mostly used for truck linings, but some marine use as well). The previous owner was the person who paid to have it completed and was very sure of the product. So far it appears to have been a very waterproof and rugged material and isn't in bad shape, but it is a rather darker colour and the flying bridge/top of salon get amazingly hot in the summer due to the colour. I wonder if anyone has any experience with this product and knows if it can be 're-coated' or painted over? If anyone had any experience with it -I would love to get more information. I have tried to talk to local vendors where I live, but so far the most they can tell me is that you can coat it again with LineX or LineX Renew, but it must be done in a 'booth' and if I use a different colour it is more pricey as it clogs their guns. It doesn't appear that they are very 'mobile' interns of application of the product and getting the boat to them nearly impossible.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
Sincerely,
Kimberly Kerns
