Boat and Other Marine Coatings — 3 Comments

  1. I do marine fiberglass jobs on side. Main job is lead paint tech at a body shop. Owner uses Spray Lining & Coatings under their DIY section for truck bed liner jobs. Looks better than a Dealer of Rhino TuffGrip who is friendly with us. This dealer guy didn’t want to spray boats so he sent this 23’ fiberglass fishing boat to us – I took the job. Left center console & T-top in place, cleaned it & sprayed SLC Marine-grade DIY Polyurea from 100 to 200 mils thick into deck, over console @ 50-60
    Mil with T-top foot flanges, switches & gauges taped off. Flexible stuff, thicker & seems better than fiberglass, all is solid, sealed definitely not slippery. It’s cheaper than fiberglass about a third the price.

  2. Thanks Otis & Earnie. SprayLiningAndCoatings.Com is new iPhone-friendly website. Pricing is now lower there (and in Spray-Lining.com store) than on eBay & Amazon. No small polyurea vendor (like Line-X or Rhino and the bedliner dealership boys who copy them) provide actual marine grade polyurea. For Interior as boat decks SL&C is mixed to be more elastic, i.e. grabby, rubbery & Slip-Proof yet clean-able with Anti-Stick properties. Boat hull exterior and inner walls use a stiffer SL&C mix. This is usually sprayed glossy or flat on hull bottom or very low profile orange peel on gun walls. For lowest dynamic drag, lowest aquatic CoeF, maximum speed and efficiency it’s 100% Anti-Stick or “slippery” with bendable but less flex on V-hulls, tri-hulls, hybrids, flat bottoms or pontoons.
