Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use regular paint instead of marine paint on my boat?

Regular paint is not recommended for use on boats as it does not provide the necessary protection against marine-specific challenges such as corrosion, UV exposure, and fouling. Marine paint is formulated with specialised ingredients to withstand the unique conditions of the marine environment.

2. Can I apply marine paint myself, or do I need a professional?

Applying marine paint can be done by boat owners themselves. However, proper surface preparation and application techniques are crucial for a successful and long-lasting finish. If unsure, it's advisable to consult with a professional or refer to the manufacturer's guidelines.

3. How do I prepare the boat's surface for painting?

Surface preparation is crucial for a successful paint job. It typically involves cleaning the surface, removing any loose or flaking paint, sanding or scraping to create a smooth and clean surface, and applying primers as necessary. Follow the specific instructions provided by the paint manufacturer.
