Interlux primer

Contrasting color steps would really look great on the race boat with its deep hull! However the radii around them may be different than on the 20, so check that first to get the right diameter pipe.

Yea, I really like the contrasting colors of the steps. It makes them stand out and gives it a cool sporty look. I will probably do this but not sure what color I will be painting the race boat yet. There is only 2 steps on it but they are defiantly more pronounced. I might stay dark blue but maybe burnt orange or some other sporty race color. It will be all done in awlgrip from the high build primers, fairing putty, base primer to the top coat and deck paints. I dont want to go cheap one the race boat, I really want it right. The other 20 sf and the sceptre I will be using the interlux primers and then not sure yet on the top coats. Maybe Interlux perfection 2 part polyurethane fighting lady yellow on the sceptre. I want to do a sea foam green on the sf but interlux dose not do a light green so I will see what else has a good rep that is cheaper than awlgrip to do it with. It will be a bit on the sf before I pain but Im soon to be ready on the sceptre.

Tom Fabula (Signature Finish Paints) can mix up any color you want. I think Capt. Chuck's 23 is the Seafoam green color. He made up the green I used to match my Sunbrella Bimini top color (Aquamarine) and he mixed the ivory color I used on the steps to match my gelcoat. I don't think any of the other urethane paints are recommended for use below the waterline, but Tom painted his swimming pool with Signature and it held up fine!

I will have to check that out. I would like to find a product that I can paint the bottom with that will hold up in the water 3 days at the time that is similar to top coat. I do not want to use bottom fouling paint, dont want to repaint every year or slow my boat down.
