Paint for aluminum boat?
I have an aluminum Jon boat painted with the traditional Olive Green.
The painted surfaces get extremely hot to the touch in the hot, afternoon sunlight. Is there a paint available for metal surfaces that stays cool to the touch in direct sunlight? Thanks, Mike Howard |

Now there's a great idea, something like the "Cool Deck" they put around
swimming pools. It's probably out there somewhere. Cool Deck involves mixing a lot of lightweight puffy rock dust into the plaster. It's probably not flexible enough for an aluminum boat. The idea is that while it gets as hot as any other surface in the Arizona sun, it conducts heat so poorly that it won't blister you feet like ordinary concrete does.

Yeah, maybe. I can't remember (from 1967) but it comes from really old
volcanoes. Roger http://home.insightbb.com/~derbyrm "Richard J Kinch" wrote in message .. . derbyrm writes: Cool Deck involves mixing a lot of lightweight puffy rock dust into the plaster. "Puffy rock dust"? Sounds like fumed silica. |

when you think about it, you are painting paint not aluminum (mostly),
why not just paint it a lighter color, prep the existing paint and give it a go with a durable marine paint. Bill. wrote in message oups.com...
