Hi lead head. i had to get paint for fiberglass before and i got it in Burke boats in ballinrobe not sure of the name of paint but its worth giving them a call they will sort you out for any information hope this is a help..{ the paint isn't cheep so shop around . }.

What type of hull. Is it a lake boat? Post up a picture of your boat and we'll be able to give better advice.

I have used Toplac in the past. Perfect for the job an hard-wearing.

Yep you can't go wrong with international paint, Toplac is what I use.
I was recommended a place in Midleton that does JCB paint... meant to be very good and long lasting + the benefit of having them mix up any color you like. I've not tried it yet!

Hi Lads,
How did you prime the surface before you applied the Toplac?

Thanks.

I used the international primer.... pre-kote.

Maybe there are cheaper solutions, but the finish was amazing....

Hi Lads,
How did you prime the surface before you applied the Toplac?

Thanks.

Used key lightly with sandpaper, removing lose bits etc. Come to think of it, used use Toplac for a strip around the keel band of an orkney as well as the inside. It never peeled off the outside either. Good stuff.

Thanks Lads,

I am looking to smarten up my tired old shortie but wasn't sure how. Apologies to leadhead for hijacking the post.

Thanks again.
