painting

[nitsuj]

I have a 1970 Glastron V166. I'd like to paint it, not the whole thing, just the green trim area. Has anyone had any luck painting a boat hull and making it stick? Is it the same as painting a fiberglass car? Also, whats the best source for new seats? I'd like to spend less than I know a boat shop is going to charge me for the original seats.

Re: painting

We painted the hull of a 1977 Jet-Ski a long time ago. Prepped it like any painting project and used a urethane paint. It held up pretty well. Todays paints may not adhere as well since many of the old ingredients were hazardous.<br />Seats?<br />www.boatfix.com<br />www.boatersworld.com<br />They both seem to have good prices and reasonable shipping. I have purchased parts from BoatFix and purchased a couple of pontoon boat lounge seats from Boaters World. Both companies were good to do business with.<br /><br />Charles

I bought boat seats through Boater's World twice. Once in the store and the other online. Shipping is free online right now if you spend $100.
