Boat painting course

[Kendorr]

Morning folks

 

Anyone know of a boat painting course taking place in 2017?

 

I've checked with NBSC and they aren't running any this year.

Try Jane of the Day Star Theater

Thanks Keith, I'll give her a try, but it looks more like 'roses and castles', I'm wanting to paint the entire outside of the boat.

Yep, they are who I've contacted, nothing doing in 2017.

Might be worth trying Chris at Oxon Boat Painting, he was toying with the idea.

Have you checked out John Barnard's youtube channel, he goes into great detail about preparation and application.

After watching his channel i would feel confident enough to make a start. Try a small area first, a hatch or door for example.

I can recommend Phil Speight's courses. I did one a few years ago and then felt very confident to tackle boat painting jobs. (I started with my roof)

The course I did was 2 days - packed with practical information and demonstrations, and tips for what to do when things go wrong.

give him a call

I have, I've got them saved, very good they are, but there's nothing like actually trying it out first with supervision.

 

Thanks IDS, I'll give him a try.
