Painting Teak
I guess that's why I thought putting a varnish coat down first before the
primer as it could be removed at a later date with a heat gun. Epoxy would
have to be stripped off chemically, wouldn't it? The white paint over it
should protect it anyway.
The boat has a ton of varnish on it and I keep up with it ok but I have seen
other boats with the window frames painted white and I like it. I though the
paint would give me a little more life than varnish and just a little bit
less maintanance. All my decks are natural teak but that is all that I want
natural.
Sounds like he's come to his senses to me.
I've done this many times. And if you think you or a future owner
would like to return the frames back to a varnish finish one day, I
would start with a couple of coats of West Systems UV stabilized clean
coat epoxy. Then prime and paint. If you want the longest lasting
finish use a two part urathane.
