Clearcoat

[Slightly_Twisted]

Hey guys,

Going to be doing some painting int he next month or so and i just had a few questions.

One. I was going to paint with a base coat (left over from another project) and then clearcoat it. Would a acrylic resin lacquer clearcoat work for the top side and bottom? (Boat is trailered & already bottom painted)

two. I can get acrylic resin lacquer bottom paint for cheep would I need to clearcoat it?

Thanks
Twisted

the base clear should work for the glass. after all they paint vettes with base clear. on the bottom make sure you put the clear on top or the base will come off not after much running. also you might want to consider putting a flex agent in the clear because of the fact that fiberglass moves so much. i dont know if you have the clearcoat allready but if not spend the extra money and get a goof clear becuase if not it will yellow up and flake in no time especially on the water. also you will have to wax the boat often if you want it too last. i am assuming that you wont keep the boat in the water for long periods of time.
