![]() ![]() I plan to sand out any runs and recoat in a day or two.Time will tell if the paint stays in place this time. I used regular paint thinner (not the $18/can "special thinner") and it worked just fine. Last evening I taped it off and brushed on the first coat. Finally I wiped down the surface with Acetone until the residue being picked up on the rag was nearly nothing. Too easy.Then I sanded the entire stripe with 220 grit paper using a rotary sander,(sorry Chris, 220 is what Interlux reccomends in their application instructions). Ŀollowing that I used a razor scraper and scraped off the reamining paint. A pressure washer would have probably gotten more off. I can live with the brush marks.LaRue: I took off as much paint as I could using a water hose. Rolling is a possibility, but its only a 4"-5" stripe. In fact, Interlux markets some Brightside colors in 1/2 pint cans specifically for boot stripe applications.I'm brushing. It is an Interlux recomended paint for boot stripe work (one part polyurathane). We’ve got over 540 stores throughout Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.

I’ll be sure to report back to let you know it all ends. Still I consider myself lucky to have a woman who would undertake such a job for me, regardless of how it turned out. In spite of my wife’s good intentions, I have put far more work into this than I would have by doing it correctly the first time. I decided to write this post to warn others not to scrimp on the prep tasks with this seemingly simple job. ![]() I do not think that would have been enough however, and would recommend to anyone contemplating this job to sand the stripe. If I had done the job myself I would have only wiped down the old stripe with a solvent. I am convinced it was a problem with the preparation. Although I’d love to use vinyl tape, I can’t because the stripe changes width as it runs down the side of the boat and comes to an oval like area toward the stern.I have read the archives and can’t find a similar issue with a boot stripe peeling like this. I have resigned myself to removing all the new paint it with a razor and sanding out the old finish with my rotary sander using 220 grit, wiping down with acetone, and re-applying the paint. I’m not exactly sure what the old finish is, possibly colored gelcoat, but the separation between the new and old surfaces was very pronounced. When I went a step further and started scraping the paint with a razor, it flaked off the old finish far too easily. This was not any type of high pressure system, just a standard garden hose. This year while I was washing the hull, large portions of the stripe flaked off from the pressure of the water stream coming out of the hose. The paint they brushed on has been peeling off ever since, and each season, I’ve been touching it up, hoping it was only a few affected spots. To compound the problem, they applied the coats with the temperature hovering in the low 50’s and it was rained on while still tacky. From there they taped it off and applied two coats of Interlux Brightside. In fact, all they did was wipe it down with a spray cleaner like 409. She and her sister tackled the job in secret and they did very little preparation to the old surface. ![]() Three years ago my wife decided she would make a present to me of repainting the boot stripe for me.
