Hi All,

I have a not particularly fancy Fibreglass dinghy which is in desperate
need of painting. I'm not sure I can afford to pay £15/750ml of the stuff
that International or Blakes sell for yachts.

Is there a cheaper alternative? Obviously household emulsion would be
silly, but household gloss - would that stick?

Any pointers gratefully received,

I painted a fiberglass dingy with Exterior acrylic latex...works pretty
good.

For those without a transAtlantic dictionary to hand, US "latex" = UK
"Emulsion"
