    Default What Paint? Need HELP

    Hey guys,

    I am building a special design boat from balsa that is covered with a layer of medium fiber glass and 2 layers of epoxy,

    What paint should I use? (I dont have a spray gun)

    I would also really appreciate of you could send me links to buy them.

    Thank you very much!

    Thats going to take alot of sanding then reapplying epoxy to get a smooth finish. I would use standard Krylon with their MATCHING primer. I used the Krylon White primer with Krylon White and Sun Yellow paint and had verygood results. Paint had verygood bond and did not peel when hatch tape was removed. Follow directions on can and you will have same results (paint only when humidity is low and temp matches directions on can)

    Thank you very much Detox! Do you wait for the primer to dry before applying the sun yellow paint?

    And for sanding I was planing to do it by hand is that ok? also should I apply the paint after sanding or should I apply it after the last epoxy layer?

    Thank a lot
