Cabin door
 

We have all been there and done this, sand, stain sand stain sand stain fix fix fix yep I'm talking about the cabin door , what in a sking is did anyone ever paint the door? Spray it white with krylon paint for wood I'm thinking it would look a lot better What do you guys think

Don't see why not. I've seen cabin doors on boats in White, black, smoked plexi, and teak. Hell, really I think it's whatever the owner of the boat likes. He/she is the one that paid for it and maintains it, so why not? :head:

What I was asking is that do you think painting it would hold up? I spray painted my rod holders and was thinking I bet I can paint the door whitch is teak with krylon foe wood, I bet if I sanded it smooth and painted it it would look great with a plexiglass smoke middle

Truthfully, I just don't know. Teak is an oily wood, I don't know how it accepts paint. I do know that several years ago I used Valspar clear urethane spray on my 78's teak. It held up for several years before I had to redo it. So I'm guessing it would probably work ok. Try a test on a small area would be my suggestion.

I feel that if it holds up for a couple of years that would be fine cause it like I have to recoil it every year and if I don't it gets old and ugly I will let you know thanks for the come backs Krylon has a good spray paint for wood,

What destroyer said, teak is oily, you can cut it by wiping the wood down with thinner.

Me, I like the teak, so I just wipe it down & then varnish with Urethane or Epiphanes, no oil, that stuff is for yachts.

I expect one will last about as long as the other.

Do it and if you don't like it I'll give you my cabin door, been kicking around my garage for years.

That's an offer I can't refuse I will do it

I heard acetone is the preferred wipe-down for teak before gluing. Would assume it works as well for painting...

Acetone works fine, I've used other more green solvents & they seem to work well to. The trick is to wipe is then paint quickly, if you leave it for a day, oil will migrate back out to the surface.
