Hi again all,
As some of you will be aware i have started a business building aluminium boats, I've been looking at various paint systems, International, Jotun and others. And the various products they sell.
Just wanted to see what people thought were the best ones for direct to aluminium, looking at 2 pack paints for durability at the moment, primer then a semi gloss topcoat.
I've attached a photo of my most recent build, working with a local designer to create my own range, that is the smallest of them, she measures 12x6 ft, very stable and sturdy little boat. The rest of the range will consist of a 14 with a cuddy, a 16 with a cuddy and self draining deck (freeboard too low on the 12 and 14 to have it that way) and then from there moving up to a 19, 21 and a 24, all of which will follow the same design lines, but will have Cabin and Center console options.
Be interested to see what you think, the paint is my main question but be interested to see what you all think of the new design.
