Re: [omc-boats] painting the rogue

I think the paint you're referring to is made by Interlux expensive at around $40 a quart.

  Subject: [omc-boats] painting the rogue

    I would like to get a new coat of paint on the old rogue this summer. I'm not really sure what I should be looking for when I go to buy paint. I read an article in a boating mag. about a self leveling paint that can be rolled and brushed on. I cant find the article so I thought maybe one of you would know of it.
    I'm not sure what to use for topside and the stripes, I figure the hull is a no brain er "hull paint".

    I have no idea how I'm going to get at the bottom, I dont know if I can jack it up off the trailer and block it. It looks pretty scary. Maybe if I did ever thing I could get at and then blocked it so I could remove 1 roller set at a time, but that would take forever letting it cure before replacing the roller.

    Another ??? I have is what to use to fill small holes. Bondo / resin. There is 2 or 3 sets of snaps that I would like to get rid of. It has a set of those tower snaps that really bug me. Always getting pocked. Anyways I figure I would remove the snap, then taper the holes and fill them with bondo or something else. Then prime it.

    The next few weeks ill be working part time so there will be more time than money, so it should be a perfect time to prep it for paint.

    I just got done putting in a 327 replacing the newer 305 that the starter would only bolt up with 1 bolt and had a crack in the block. I ran the battery dead turning it over to lube and pump up the lifters, so it has not run yet. That's the goal this weekend.
    Anyway,
    Happy boating
