Kansas City PM38 Build [Splashed 2017]

[Ned L]

Looks great.
Many finishes could be used on the interior. varnish would work (that would really only be needed for the UV protection it would give the epoxy below it. Epoxy is not UV resistant.) In paints, you can go anywhere from simple "Rustoleum" oil based enamel to traditional marine paints to two part epoxies. the epoxy substrate will have no effect on how easily whatever you apply scuffs off.

I agree with Ned. I used Rustolem with hardener inside and out on my boat and it's held up nice for 4yrs

So when you guys say Rustoleum, do you mean the Rustoleum Marine Coatings or just the standard Rustoleum enamel paints?

Actually there are a few different types of Rustoleum paints. There is the standard you see in so many stores, and the there is Rustoleum Professional also in a lot of the Home Improvements stores. And then there are Tractor Supplies paints that are basically the exact same formula as well. So yes, there are talking about either one. BUT, with a catalyzed hardener added for gloss retention and hardening the finish to help is stay and reduce scratching and such. JMHO

I just used 'regular' Rustoleum on the interior of my complete rebuild. Basically any good oil based enamel will work, the comments above will give you improved performance.

Nice project. Looking at your basement makes me want to go do some cleaning

If you wood boat guys keep it up I will have no choice but to try one....too tempering!

Permission to come on board for this build?

Rustoleum Professional is what I used

Thanks for the link, there is a ton of good information there. I have a quart of this Zinsser primer I though of using on the interior, it's oil based and can be used with any top coat. Think that will work?

By all means, come on board! I actually had to clean that room in the basement prior to starting the build, everything that was in there found a new home.

I'm not a huge fan of that primer. I just finished a job where there were tears in the top layer of sheet rock exposing the brown lower paper. I had to skim coat so I used that primer to seal the tears. The paper still blistered under the first coat of spackle which means the primer didn't seal the paper well. if you use that primer, use at least two coats.

 

[jbcurt00]

Interior primer? On a boat? No, I woildnt use it.

 

[Patfromny]

It's interior exterior.

 

[Woodonglass]

I wouldn't use Zinser. I WOULD use Clean Metal Primer made by Rustoleum. It works great on wood, fiberglass and metal.

 

[SGoergen]

Thanks for the replies, going to grab some Rusoleum Primer at lunch today.

I wouldn't necessarily be against the Zinsser primer. When I use a primer I sand 80 - 90% off anyway. I leave behind what fills the grain and just a bit more.

 

[Patfromny]

I just don't think that particular primer is a great sealer. As stated earlier, it didn't even seal sheetrock, something that even their 123 latex primer does well.

 

[gm280]

Is the Rustoleum Clean Metal Primer a sandable primer? Can you sand it like other primers for body work?

 

[Ned L]

Hmmm,.....I guess I don't look for a primer to seal, that's what the finish coats are for.

 

[Patfromny]

I would say that the primer is an important place for sealing.especially on wood. primer seals the wood so you don't get tannin bleed.
