TOP TIPS FOR PAINTING YOUR BOAT!

For this week I went back over the comments from previous video's and picked the 10-ish most frequently asked questions about the specifics of painting a boat. Hope this is helpful :-)!

Starting next week I'll be back on the Bertram full steam with the goal of having it water ready come Spring. Lots to get done between now and then so hopefully there aren't too many hiccups lol!!

I've spent more than 65 years in boats, 30 of them as a full time professional captain and I have just recently retired. And now I stumble upon this guy! Absolutely the best website on working on boats I've ever encountered! Too bad I didn't discover it when I actually needed it but retired or not, boatless or not, I still enjoy watching these videos and I learn something of value every time. Great Job!

I just want to say thank you, I was recently given a 23 foot sailing boat that had been standing for 8 years and was in real bad shape, I didn´t know if it was worth saving but thanks to your videos I have learnt a lot and decided to give her a new lease of life, I have just put on my first topcoat on the sides and it looks pretty good for my first attempt. I am now waiting a few hours to apply a second coat then tomorrow a sand and final coat. Your knowledge is invaluable to a guy like me and I just wanted to acknowledge that. Well done mate!

Andy, thank you for passing along your wisdom restoring an old boat back to its original shape. Reuse and recycle are alive and well at your shop.

Oh my God! I feel like I need to watch this five times. And I will. Very intimidating. All those numbers for the Sanding.

Got my Alexseal shipment this past week and spent the day putting up my plastic debris barrier. I'm using an old bass boat I bought to use as an experiment and can't wait to try this out! Thank you for getting the roll additive out so quickly. Will be posting results along the way on my fb page as well as my own YouTube channel. Thanks again, and you're video library has helped me every step of the way.

Andy's a legend. Whatever can't find in his channel can find in any related videos. It all started with this guy.

Thanks to Andy I have learned Everything I need to wrap and seal my Squaredrop project.
True. I may have gone overboard but any river crossing my vehicles can make my camper will make too. ( In Theory. LOL)
I swear I've never hand sanded one project so much in my life!
And now to Roll and Tip !
Thank You Andy!
I know that doesn't pay the bills. Hopefully someday I can repay you.
Your Greatly Appreciated

Excellent timing! I haul my 47ft monohull out for bottom paint this Friday. My first time doing it on my own. Appreciate your videos a great deal. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

Hi Andy. Foam stands for Fall Off And Mess. Lint or mohair rollers are excellent. Great useful imformation to achieve an awesome job. 😊 thanks.

Best teacher on board stuff period!! We are about to get started on our painting... this was PRICELESS info!!!

[joyed]

Best video I've found so far I'd love a video of explaining products and terminology just quick snippets of them. Thanks for the info!

[MultiBmorgan]

After getting a quote in the upper atmosphere, I eventually will be taking this on myself.Ive seen people like Mads roll and tip but I wasn't aware you could get a good finish from a roller alone. Awesome overview. Great information. (also have some consulting for you )

[joshuareed]

Thanks Andy! Just about to apply surfacing primer. Your videos always cut to the chase!

[Manny_Akamotakis]

thanks for sharing bud. I just bought a 27ft yacht that needs a hull paint.

[shiranduarte]

Awesome high level of a class, as all your videos! Thanks! I always watch your videos before doing anything on my boat and kayaks...

[captainmike]

Extremely helpful Andy, especially the grits of paper used.

[peterrivney]

Well I will apply primer with a roller to save cleaning the spray gun but will spray the paint... Great job again...
