Kendorr 95 Report post #3 Posted January 12, 2017 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. Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NB Watersnail 2 Report post #6 Posted January 12, 2017 Might be worth trying Chris at Oxon Boat Painting, he was toying with the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IDS 13 Report post #9 Posted January 12, 2017 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. see - http://www.canaljunction.com/philspeight/ give him a call Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
