Priming and painting over fibreglass


Recommended Posts

I'm building my first RV boat, Occre's Ulises. I have already applied fibreglass plus additional coats of epoxy resin. I am looking for some advice as to what kind of primer and paints to use to finish the hull. I have made quite a few static models and a basic primer and acrylic paints work well. I also have some SPAR varnish that someone recommending as a final coat. Advice anyone?

Welcome to MSW Carl,     It would be nice if you would post a little introduction about yourself on the new member forum here at MSW.    https://modelshipworld.com/forum/3-new-member-introductions/

 

In the meantime is the surface that is to be painted fiberglass, epoxy resin, gel coat or?  I did a quick check on the net about appropriate coatings for epoxy resin and invariably they recommend acrylics or even latex coatings.
