First time posting here but i have started a small boat project.
I finished the trailer by sanding it then spraying primer then black rust-oleum. Trailer turned out good.
On to the boat,
I took the benches out, left the side planks that were holding the benches in, they will help with the rebuilding process.
I also power washed the whole boat with sand and water mix which took all the paint off nicely and made boat nice and clean.
Then when i went to local home depot to see what kind of paint to use they told me i need to go to local marina because non of the paint they have will last in water... they had large variety of rust-oleum.
I went to local marina and they told me i need to go to a specialty paint store such as the local sherwin-williams.
I did and Sherwin William told me the they do have boat paint but in California and would have to ship it.
Is there any type of paint i can buy in local home depot or anything that will work?
