[QUOTE="MallardAddict, post: 146276, member: 3460"] The Parker oil based duckboat paint (about $40/gallon) has worked well for me and my friends on several boats with good results. All of our boats are used mostly for duck hunting so they hit plenty of stumps and sand bars and the paint holds on very well. I am currently painting my 16' Tracker with the Parkers Hunter Green. As with any paint job, the quality of the end result is based mostly on the prep and doing things the right way. I took my boat down to bare metal, wiped it with wax and grease remover, rolled Coat-It epoxy on the bottom and up to the spray rail. We sanded all sags and runs, wiped it again with the degreaser and primed all bare metal with SEM self etching primer. Wiped the entire boat again with degreaser and sprayed it wiping it down between coats 3 and 4 as it sat 24 hours in a heated shop between those coats to help it cure. It currently has 4 coats of the Parkers reduced 10% and sprayed on relatively thin with a $20 Harbor Freight spray gun. Im not paint expert but it looks just like any factory new jon boat to my eyes. coat 3: [img]https://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z254/MallardAddict/boat/boat13.jpg[/img] coat 4: [img]https://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z254/MallardAddict/boat/boat15.jpg[/img] Here is the link to the whole thread if you want to see what the steps i took looked like from start to current with the paint: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=14168 [/QUOTE]
