CD Brown for the boot top & cove stripe

[Mike Thorpe]

Hi,

I'm repainting the boot top & cove stripe on my CD-36. It's blue now and I would like to return to the original brown or as close to it as possible. The problem is that I want to use a Two-Part Polyurethane for it's durability (i.e.Interlux Interthane Plus) but it doesn't come in brown.

Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a brushable (roll & tip) two part polyurethane enamel that comes in brown?

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, I too asked myself the same question when repainting the boot stripe on my cd 36. The original color is interlux dado brown.
This paint will be hard to find, I believe it is discontinuued.
There are however better products on the market today. I have seen but not used the two part polyurethane you had mentioned for pretty much the same reason...the colors offered. Years ago I had my stripe professionally sprayed on with interthane......lasted about three years but was a bit pricy....a dark red was used which you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between that and a dark brown.Now I use the interlux one part polurethane.....chocholate brown.....It gives a very nice gloss. Every year I lightly sand with 220 and put on a refresher coat. This seems to hold up very well. If it weathers too much after a few years, take it down with 80 grit, use fiberglass cleaner and coat with two coats of chocholate brown, sanding very lightly with 220 between coats. Hope I was able to help. Good luck.

Thanks,
Mike

Charlie,

Thanks for your response. I used the Interlux Brightsides chocholate brown for the boot top on my old CD-27 and had great results. The only problem was some blistering caused by the heat guns they use when shrinkwrapping the boat for the winter. My concern is the cove stripe. Will it stand the abrasion cause by the fenders?

Mike,
Check out www.yachtpaint.com/USA/ and www.PettitPaint.com, or just go up the road to the boatyard, and look in the back of their "Manset" catalog for info and color charts for Interlux and Pettit paints.
See you at Long Cove, or if I get really lucky, Onset.

Mike,
In the offseason I shrinkwrap boats. Anyone that does this should know enough not to apply excessive heat to the material. Sometimes you blow a hole in the plastic shrinkwrap if your heatgun stays in one place a second too long. Even so, damage should not occur to the paint or the hull in this instance. When working with a heatgun, you learn to move fast, and carefully at that. really, The only problem
you would ever have is if someone "SAT" with the heatgun in one spot for too long a period.Honestly, for the best color match and good durability I would stick with the one part chocholate brown.Keep on top of it annually and you should get satisfying results for a few years. Realistically that is all you can expect from any paint that comes in contact with mother nature.

Mike,

In the offseason I shrinkwrap boats. Anyone who does this knows full well never to apply excessive heat to any given spot on the hull.
Sometimes when shrinkwrapping, you blow a hole through the material because you concentreated the heat gun in one place a second too long. This in itself, is not a problem and would not damage the hull or the paint.Realistically, the only time damage will occur is if you concentrate the heat gun in one spot for too long a period.
Personally, I would stick with the one part chocholate brown. It goes on easily, and would last several years with annual refresher coat maintenance. That really is the best you can ask for when dealing with mother nature.......Charlie
