Re: imrom paint
HA FLYFISH
I DON’T KNOW TO MUCH ABOUT IMROM PAINT I NEVER USED IT. I JUST HAVE HEARD A LITTLE NOT ENOUGH TO COMMENT ON IT. BUT I HAVE USED STERLING PAINT (DESIGNED FOR BOATS) IT IS A 2 PART PAINT THAT WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME BY SEVERAL MARINE REPAIR PEOPLE IT HAS EXCELLENT PROPERTIES FOR THE ROLL AND TIP METHOD. I PAINTED MY 23 THIS YEAR WITH THE STUFF AND IF I HAD TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN I WOULD USE IT AGAIN. I TALKED TO THE ALL GRIP PEOPLE AND READ A LOT ABOUT ALL GRIP PLUS BOUGHT A TAPE ON THE ROLL AND TIP METHOD OF APPLYING ALL GRIP BUT THE PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PROPERTIES OF STERLING OUT WEIGHED ALL GRIP. MANY BOAT YARDS DOWN HERE USE STERLING IN PLACES THEY CANNOT SPRAY. THESE 2 PART PAINTS CAN KILL YOU IF YOU DON’T HAVE GOOD VENTILATION AND SPRAYING WITH OUT A FULL SUIT PLUS A VENTILATION MASK WITH A HOSE COMING FROM ANOTHER LOCATION PUMPING IN AIR IS VERY RISKY. I HAVE NEVER PAINTED WITH SPRAY AND WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE POTENTIAL HEALTH RISKS ROLL AND TIP OUT SIDE ON MY DRIVEWAY WAS THE ONLY SOLUTION I WAS WILLING TO USE. I JUST USED A 3 M CHARCOLE MASK AND KEPT AS FAR AWAY FROM THE WORK AS POSSIBLE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE MASK THAT COVERS YOUR FACE WITH THE 2 FILTERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE MASK COSTS ABOUT $40.00. PAINTING MY BOAT WITH STERLING COST ME ABOUT $1,000 FOR EVERYTHING. I GOT QUOTES FROM $4,000 TO $6,000 TO DO THE WHOLE THING. ROLL AND TIP WORKS GREAT. IT LOOKS LIKE A PRO DID IT AND IT LOOKS LIKE A SPRAY JOB. I PUT JUST 2 COATS ON THE BOAT AND RAN OUT OF TIME I AM GOING TO SAND IT ONE MORE TIME AND PUT ANOTHER COAT ON THE OUTSIDE WHEN I HAVE 2-3 DAYS FREE.
