Alexseal dropped the ball at every opportunity, need paint recommendations.

(1/2) > >>

I began contacting Alexseal and a local-ish distributor both on April 8th. It took something like 4 calls and 3 emails to Alexseal representatives, and the same number to Fisheries supply in Seattle, over a 5 week period to get a stupid color card. Try to place an order today and nobody has any of the catalyst in stock. I know we are in unique times, but my patience is up.

I am looking for recommendations for other diy paints for my hull. I prefer a roll-able if possible. I will not be mooring the boat for any duration longer than a couple of days if that helps. Thank you in advance gents.

This is what I used on my hull sides http://quantumpaint.com/

I'll give it a look today. Thank you.

theFunsmith:
The quantum repeatedly said not for use below the waterline. Starting to lean toward the interlux perfection with the epoxy primer. Anybody had any experience with it?

RickK:
I sprayed Interlux VC Performance epoxy based paint on the bottom and up the side to a few inches above the waterline and then sprayed the quantum on the sides down to the chine.  My boat lives on a trailer so it doesn't stay wet for more than a day. It's fine for that.
Here is where I start spraying the VC on the bottom and then the next page or two is painting the sides.
