Default marine paints?


Use an epoxy based paint -- prep work is most important; especially if it's been
painted before.

The outdrive, since you're indiana; doesn't get much marine growth; but whatever
you do; don't use "bottom paint" there's special expensive outdrive paint.

I bought a 1988 bayliner & the 12" wide stripe around it is chipped pretty bad. I am guessing someone painted it with the wrong type of paint over the years. I want to repaint it. I live in central Indiana & there aren't any marinas locally. Is there a certain type of paint I should use? brands recommended or that I should stay away from? Can I buy it online? I assume it would be an epoxy based type. I'd also like to paint the black I/O outside the boat it's also pretty faded. thanks! all tips are appreciated!
