What paint to use on inside wall of a boat?

• Thread starter sd1953

• Forums for All Owners
• Ask All Sailors

Chris Patterson

Them's true words Center. If the boat is dry inside, and there's no reason to think an Endeavor 38 is not, any decent paint will work. If it's white you want, I've been using Valspar's porch and floor paint for years, in fact, I'm looking at it right now on my raceway panels. It looks great. And 22 bucks. Don't get into getting suckered into 'boat paint' on this one.  

Charlie Jones s/v Tehani

For onto 20 years now in my own boats, and boats I've built for customers, for interior painting I've used (and will continue to use) a good quality ACRYLIC Latex enamel in semi gloss. Note the emphasis on Acrylic. I also use Zinzer 1-2-3 primer.. Used to use a different one (Kilz), but I've had it bubble with condensation. It's a very different animal from the old latex's. Water wash up, scrub-able, fast dry and low odor.  

Interlux Brightside or Pettit Easypoxy, both one part polyurethanes. Easy to put on and durable/scrubable.  

Thanks for the help... I'm off to the paint store in the morning. This is what I LOVE about this site... there is so much hard won knowledge and experience and y'all share it so readily. Fair winds and following seas!  

Stu Jackson

One of the best pieces of advice I've read is when you paint something inside a boat in white, is to use a tad of blue in it. Takes the glare out. Lin & Larry Pardey. Pretty good folks to listen to. Good luck.

I used BINZ sealer and stain remover then topside paint. The BINZ(home depot) gave the finish coat a great base to adhere to.  

Barnacle Bill

Why do people go to home stores to buy paint for boats? Two different things. PETTIT has a product called "Cabin Coat" which is a mildew resistant marine paint. The other nice thing about this you can apply if over a glossy surface without sanding. Now how cool is that and see if you can find that at home depot?  

miamitreasurehunter

centerline said: any topside paint would work.... but also to keep in mind, where as latex is not a good choice if you do the proper prep work, but if you are not sanding down to a solid surface to apply the new paint to, then latex will be as good as any other. the reason is, if you are painting over old paint, and the adhesion is questionable, it will probable fail and the quality of paint that is going to peel away because of it matters little. even latex on a good clean surface will adhere well for a long time, but if you are working at prepping the surface like it should be done, then dont waste your efforts by applying anything but the best over it, as it takes no more work to paint on a good quality paint than it does to apply the cheap stuff. a lot of people use an exterior house paint with good enough results to keep them happy for a long time... Click to expand

As I emphasized- HUGE difference between the older latex paints, and the ACRYLIC (note- acrylic) latexes. And yes, you can add a mildewcide. Comes in a small package to stir in I can show you a boat in our marina that I repainted the interior of in 1998, and it's still in great shape, except where there have been damages from scrapes. Personally, I would never even dream of putting Brightsides on a boat interior. But that's me and I've come to not like Brightsides. I don't like the way it works, either brushing or spraying. I DO like EasyPoxy, but that would be on the outside, not inside. And someone asked- why a house paint instead of a marine paint? Several reasons- 1. It's just as good- designed to hold up on a house for years and years. The research has been done, and it last's 2. I can walk back into a Sherwin Williams store anywhere and give them the paint numbers, and walk out with a dead match in color. Even from that 1998 paint job. 3. It's a LOT cheaper, because it doesn't say "marine" Note- we ARE NOT talking boat exterior- that's a whole different subject.  

Roadking Larry

The three most important stpes in any paint job are: 1. Preperation 2. Preperation and of course 3. Preperaton

mitiempo said: Why? Click to expand

Preparation is the key . Paints fail because of adhesion problems. If you want the job to last and to be scratch resistant you should use a bonding primer. The absolute best for adhesion is XIM 400W available at Sherwin Williams. If it were me I would use an oil alkyd topcoat with gloss finish. The downside is that combination of paint and primer will smell for a couple of days. The upside is that you will have a very durable finish that won't scratch easily and will be easy to clean. Acrylic latexes are soft and subject to easily being scratched. Urethanes and epoxies are hard but not too flexible which might lead to some cracking as the hull flexes.

Sailboat Bottom Paint: 10 Best Paints

Last Updated by

Daniel Wade

June 15, 2022

If you leave your boat without protection, it's beyond question that it will start attracting several marine organisms such as slime, algae, mussels, barnacle, and seaweed. This will cover the bottom of your sailboat and may negatively affect your boat's speed and fuel efficiency.

This is exactly why you need to apply the best sailboat bottom paint on your boat.

The freedom that sailing and being off land gives you are immense and almost unmatched.

But do you know that having multiple organisms such as algae, slime, barnacle, seaweed, and mussels grow on your boat can throw everything out on the wind and leave you with a very unreliable boat?

These pesky hangers will put a huge dent in your boat's speed, its movement, fuel efficiency, and overall aesthetic.

That's why you need the best sailboat bottom paint to greatly minimize any damage that might be caused to your boat's hull by marine biological growth.

Also known as antifouling paint, bottom paint is essentially a paint or coating that's specifically designed with elements that prevent various marine organisms such as algae, seaweed, barnacles, slime, and mussels from attaching themselves to your boat's hull or any other part of the boat that's below the waterline.

One of the most important elements of bottom paint is the inclusion of a biocide and copper is the most common. This may, however, depend on the type of boat that you have, how, and where you always use it.

But because there's an ocean of bottom paints out there on the market, choosing the best sailboat bottom paint can be an overwhelming task for most of us.

Fortunately, you can always count on us to make it a lot easier for you. We've gone through many bottom paints and we do not doubt that we've selected the most effective, reliable, and best sailboat bottom paint.

Our unbiased selections will not only match your needs and budget but will be available in a variety of colors to complement and augment your boat's visual appeal.

What to Consider when Purchasing Sailboat Bottom Paint

If you're on the market for the best sailboat bottom paint, it's crucial to go for top quality; something that will offer efficiency, top speed, and excellent performance for your sailboat. With that in mind, here are a few things to consider before spending your hard-earned money on bottom paint.

Your Sailing Location

Where are you planning to sail? Is it on a freshwater body or in a saltwater location? This is essential in helping you determine whether to go for a bottom paint that's meant for saltwater, freshwater, or both. It's generally recommended that you go for a bottom paint that will serve you perfectly well in both freshwater and saltwater. This gives you the versatility of sailing anywhere without worrying about marine organisms damaging your boat's hull.

Launch Time and Recoat Time

It's important to keep in mind that bottom paint products have specific launch time limits. The idea here is to ensure that you launch it within the required timeframe and ensure that recoating is done as required. You should, therefore, choose a bottom paint that offers a lengthy launch and recoat time while offering durable protection for your vessel is the right thing to do.

Type of Boat

You should determine whether your boat is made of wood, fiberglass, or aluminum and go for bottom paint that's suitable for that particular surface. Many bottom paints work perfectly with fiberglass but some work great with aluminum or wooden surfaces.

The Fouling Condition

Having a deeper idea of the type of fouling that you might deal with can be crucial when buying the right bottom paint for you. Whether you're dealing with slime, algae, mussel, or any other type of marine organism, knowing the type of fouling you're dealing with will make it a lot easier to pick the best sailboat bottom paint for your vessel.
