Sailboat Paint Decisions, Decisions… Just Basics
In this episode, we’re exploring the world of sailboat paint and focusing on easy-to-use, durable solutions for your DIY project. Join us as we discuss and weigh the pros and cons of various products such as All-Grip, Brightside, and Pettit Easy Poxy.All-GripOne option often discussed among professional and DIY boat painters is All-Grip. This product offers a hard finish that’s similar to what you’d find on your car, making it a reliable choice for standing up to bumps and dings. However, many feel that the process is rather complicated and not suitable for first-time boat painters.BrightsideAn alternative is Brightside, which has gained popularity due to its simplicity. It’s a one-part paint that eliminates the need for mixing or dealing with multiple products, making it an ideal choice for DIY enthusiasts like ourselves. The “wet edge” concept can be intimidating but essential when ensuring no visible lines mar the final paint job.Pettit Easy PoxyPettit’s Easy Poxy seems to be the most suitable option for us, considering our lack of painting experience and need for an affordable solution. It is known for its user-friendliness and has been praised in online discussions and video tutorials. This product makes a professional-looking paint job achievable even for first-time boat painters.Color Choice DilemmaPicking the right color is just as crucial as selecting the perfect paint product. Although a simple black would be easy and effective, we’re looking for something that stands out – like me!The DecisionTo achieve the desired color without breaking the bank, we’ll have to mix an off-the-shelf option. A gallon of Pettit white with a quart of Bikini Blue seems like the best way to reach our goal shade while still keeping costs reasonable.Join Us for the Painting JourneySo, whichever color you choose for Lady K, be prepared to live with it. We’ll share our painting journey from sanding and fairing to applying the new paint in upcoming episodes. Stay tuned!This week we're looking at painting a sailboat. Roll and tip this and polyurathane that. Awlgrip, Interlux Brightside, TotalBoat, or Pettit? And sailboat colors! Which sailboat paint do we use? Primer and sanding and wax remover too!

Lady K Sailing
Sell everything, sail off into the sunset, and make videos to help other people join into the cruising life and explore this beautiful world. That's always been the mission of Lady K Sailing. I'm Tim and I set out from my days of PHRF sailboat racing on the Great Lakes to explore the world on my 1980 Hughes 35 foot sailboat - Lady K. I refit her extensively, traversed the Erie Canal, and made my way down to the beautiful blue waters. I made a video every Friday with some adventure clips and some "how to" segments to help you get your own boat and come join me. Since the big trip I am back on land refitting Lady K for another big adventure but in the meantime I am making the "Everything You Need to Know" videos and boat shopping videos to help more people enjoy the wonderful world of sailing.
