[PSUBS-MAILIST] paint coatings

Hi Hank,

Tremclad, or the equivalent, on fiberglass? Now that's interesting.  No reason not to I would think.  Brilliant, actually.  Glossy spray bomb… love it.

Rick, I use hardware store rust paint.  I dive in lakes and the sub does not stay in the water very long.  Never had a problem.

Thanks Brian, I'll give them a call tomorrow and check into it. Hank, didn't you just post that you are having your sub painted after doing the glass work? What did you use?

I have done some checking into different paint systems and wanted to share that with the group.

Jon had set up a psubs discount with Sherwin-Williams a while ago and gave us a contact name and phone number if our local outlet had any problems. I had seen that a couple of you had used the macropoxy 650 system so I asked our local outlet about it and they showed me the only color chips that it came in. also asked them if it was possible to mix in a metal flake and they said no so I called the contact name I was given and the guy who answered said that he took ricks place. I ran everything by him and he asked Rick about it and Rick said that he didn't remember suggesting the macropoxy 650 as the best application for what we were doing but said that it could be tinted any color and are checking on weather the 650 is the best way to go for our application and weather a metallic can be added. Will post results when I get them.

 

Rick
