Hi there,
I own an 80's model Quintrex 3.4 tinnie which has a few dodgy coats of paint on it from the previous owner so am wanting to paint it. I have had a bit of alook at a few previous posts on here regarding this topic but am after a few other bits of info such as what is a good nozzle to apply with (i have the compressor but would need to get nozzle), as the hull is old am not going to go all out and do 2pak so have decided on enamel so how much do i need and is it a particular kind or just normal enamel? Do i need to add hardeners? How much of the original paint do i need to get off or is it similar to surface prep for walls in that just need to ensure a smooth surface? Whats this etching stuff all about?
Any help would be much appreciated so thanks in advance
Cheers
Craig
