Interior Paint

[beekeeper]

My pirogue build was one problem (error) after another. Wanted to finish it natural, but decided to paint it because I was not happy with the splices in the Luan.
Went to Ace and told them I was painting another boat and wanted exterior latex like I had befor. The clerk prepared to mix the color and I noticed the can was different. I asked if it was the same as befor (exterior). He said yes they change the color of the cans all the time.
I put on two coats and then decided to put one more but, Did not have enough paint to finish. My neighbor was going to ACE that day and offered to bring me a can. When I started to copy the color code, it said interior. :evil: :cry:
The store manager replaced the paint with exterior at no charge. He thought like me, it would be OK if I painted over the interior with exterior. Wrong!

Ended up striping it and repainting. Lesson = There is more to exterior paint than U.V. inhibitors. Read the label.

Yea they replace the paint but their arms won't get sore from scraping off the old one. I'd see if they'd throw in some paint scraping tools.

Not sure about you but I am tired of scraping and sanding and scraping and sanding and scraping off varnish. I have been digging around in the Jamestown Distributors web site looking at varnish/paint removers. They would even get into the tight areas where the scraper and sandpaper does not like to go.

Thinking it would be a lot easier getting down to the fiberglass with a remover that would not hurt the glass but peel off the varnish.

I don't know if it really would but, some of the "paint" removers I saw said for "epoxy" also. Be careful.

you also run the risk of leaving a residue behind with paint strippers.
