Cheers 🍻 Juan 😎👍

DB cheers 🍻, I think I’ve improved since this episode, more painting on the way ☺️👍🙋‍♂️

Cheers Mario, the paint did most of the work.... Great name by the way 👍🍻🙋‍♂️

Hi Chris, thanks for the comments, At the time, it was my first experience at paintings boat, and definitely a novice, I decided to take the easy route and the most comfortable route, as it turned out, I got a really nice finish ( probably down to the paint to be fair), so I stuck with that method , I’d agree with you on downward or upward strokes would of been better, looking back actually, as I’d not at that point put the wood rubbing straights on the sides. But overall it’s looking rather dapper dear boy….. Thanks for your comments once again Chris I really appreciate them 🍻👍

Ditto what he said.

If you were painting in the sun and or the wind, you’d have to get it done a lot faster.

Cheers Matey 🍻

I’d like to see that dear boy, great name by the way 😎🙋‍♂️🍻

Hiya Dennis, it’s a bugger that Covid, not fully over it as yet but, hay ho …. Did you thin it out a bit, not much though…. I found that by thinning it out help me put the paint on and also it glazed over better too, also depends on your climate and when you did it Dennis, hope that helps matey

@@philmurphy3549 yes sir between 5-10%. Temp and humidity were well with in range😀 found a different 2part poly called Alexseal looks amazing … im going to try it on the transom … just to see if it’s what it claims to be…all in all wet edge came out OK rolled with no tipping …that other paint has a roller additive that allows for rolling no tipping and a finish as good as a spray job…as for COVID my nerves took a hit and are not back to where they were speech still somewhat impaired … however it’s better than it was I am thankful for that

Hi Christine, thanks for subscribing, so keeping a wet edge basically means the rolling on Part upto the last section you do, just overlap slightly, this just keeps the last edge wet so it doesn’t drag,then use your dry paint brush and tip off just beyond and into the previous section. If you live in a hot country it might be advisable to put some white spirit in the paint to slow the drying period down, but check the paint details first. Regards Phil 🥂🙋‍♂️

Well thanks very much , it was very therapeutic doing it from memory 👍

From memory Richie, I kept it in a damp cloth soaked in white spirit, it kept the brush head nice and wet, but not soaked if you know what I mean 👍

Cheers Tony 🍻🙋‍♂️

Hi pmn fernando, I went to my large DIY store and use a very short fibre roller, it seem to work better for me, the key is to have a really good fine brush that doesn’t malt , hope that helps, and thanks 👍🙋‍♂️🍻

Morning JP, yes I’m on the mend, I got a nasty strain of Covid and it’s taken a long time to get better...... anyway, Toplac...... yes good paint, really depends on temperature as to how well it goes on the boat, ( well it was in my case)..... I think I did the hull in summer ( just check when I posted the video). I put a small amount of thinners in just to give me work time as it was my first attempt at rolling and tipping I think, so I think as your in Portugal ( unsure of the temperature mind 🤔) I’d say that’s they way to go, but mix well, lots of paint sediment at the bottom of those cans so mix until it’s all dispersed dear boy. Short haired roller and a good sized brush, together with steady strokes should do the trick, If it the paints not working with you , stop. Let it dry, flat it off and do again, you’ll know fairly soon after you’ve started the job. On a final note, I was looked after in intensive care by a lovely nurse from Portugal, she worked solidly for two weeks then went back home for two weeks, I owe her and the ICU team a great deal🙏. So good luck with the job and I hope to film in the not to distant future 👍🙋‍♂️

@@philmurphy3549 hey Phil, really appreciate your comments, about yourself take it slowly and nice to know you are getting better althought it seems it was hard. Yes, We have really good nurses all around specially in the UK where the pay is well above Portuguese salary's. Here on PT the temperature is around 18 degrees, quite ok to paint, not really hot. All the best and have a good recover from that nasty bug. Cheers!

Thanks, JP, yes I’m on the mend, hopefully I’ll be back on it once my strength is back, can’t seem to find the energy as yet, maybe when I’ve finished these antibiotics I’ll be good, My first job will be painting also, but it’s cold still so I’ve a bit of time to get fit again. It’s 18 c you say, that’s a good temperature for painting I’d say 👍🙋‍♂️🍻

I Will have to try this Toplac Paint, I haven't heard of it before.. but its another name to add to my Journal.. I will have a Google to find out more about it... I'm here from UK to, actually just Other side of Liverpool on the Wirral, walk away from Leasowe Lighthouse/New Brighton. I recently started working on boats, Lotsss to learn.. But fascinating.. Been working on a boat called Sea-Dove, which has lots of history Ive heard.. apparently was dropped by a crane and still survived which shows how well its built..

Hi Tommy, looks like you’ve got your hands full dear boy, and yes I know where your moored up , nice place , it’s been awhile since I was over on the Wirral but I’ll be visiting some of my old customers (carpet shops) , in the next few weeks. Best of look with the renovation work, make some videos and put them on KZfaq, we’re short of uk boat Restoration channels 🍻👍🇬🇧

Depends on where you live I’d say, obviously I purchased the paint from my local marine supply store, you may have one near you, they are world wide I think so maybe google International boat paints and see if they have a distribution company near you Theo. The brush and roller I bought from my local DIY shop

More like 15 pence at the moment Gary 😂

Hi Pat, yes a lot of work, and is still being restored, she lives in the warehouse and is awaiting more episodes and work, I’m sadly recovering from Covid after being in hospital for along time, hopefully we’ll be back on it again, when, I’m don’t know..... Many thanks for subscribing and watching Pat 🙋‍♂️👍🙏

Hi Jeff, I didn’t use any measurements with the thinners, but I’d say about 10% in the newly opened tin , (250ml tin if I remember correctly), that was purely to give me a better tack off time with each section I did, it really depends on where and at what time of the year you paint it dear boy . Kind regards 🙋‍♂️👍🍻

Gday matey 🤔 I’m sure it was a single pack paint, it’s by International paints “ TopLac” I think, I used a bit of thinner’s just to give me a little spread time before it tacked off and pulled on the brush, I know it doesn’t like cold weather so just be careful dear boy, other than that, it was great to apply, I’ll soon be doing a bit more painting, just waiting for the uk weather to pickup a bit before I have another go. Good luck sunshine 🙋‍♂️

Gday mate can i ask a couple more questions of you , first one is what type of roller are you using ? i have been using a 5mm nap mohair second how big is your boat .I had a look at the international paints and saw the one you believe it is, the paint i am using is made local and they call it supergloss marine paint i call it supers***** because after 3 coats i have no where near the gloss that you are getting or flow out maybe great for spraying but they say it can be rolled or brushed im pulling what hair i have left out wondering what i am doing wrong .You said your happy with it well mate i would be to you have done a stirling job on that boat it looks a treat and as the aint kicks off and tightens more it will only get better .

To be honest it was, could of been right time,temperature, etc.... quite therapeutic doing too 🙂🍻🙏🙋‍♂️

@@philmurphy3549 Thanks for answering Phil! Yes i have a 7meter speedboat to paint. Also for therapeutic too😅 Now i need the right paint for it Regards.

Hi Michael, The Paint was by International, not sure of the colour, but I can let you know once I’m back at the warehouse, although I think from memory I actually say the paint on one of those episodes I’m sure🤷‍♂️. One thing is for sure, where I live, there’s no way it can be painted as it’s way to cold right now.

Great name maz man😎, surprisingly one coat of each, both the undercoat and topcoat covered extremely well, however I have wet flattened one side as I think I can improve on the overall finish that I did, but the paint will cover really well with the one coat dear boy🙋‍♂️👍

@@philmurphy3549 great stuff dude

I reckon so dear boy , depends on which state your in on the temperature side of things, I hope all’s well over the pond and in the land of the free 🇺🇸👍

Hiya Zanaga 1 , really depends on which manufacturer of the paint you use I think, I’d use “International” boat paint, spreads better, also depends on outside temperature, if your painting outside in heat or sun, it would flash off and drag over your brush to quickly. As for what type of roller, I’d use a short hair type, less bubbles when you put the paint on, and brush, a fine strand type ,manmade ( like mine ) or a high quality horse hair maybe. One more thing, you could put some thinners in your paint as this will help you find your pace and rhythm putting the paint on, it won’t flash off as quick. Hope this helps……..

@@philmurphy3549 I would try it on a later date but gonna use a turbine sprayer when I paint my truck the next time haven't been getting good paint jobs when using a small air compressor though. But waiting now to get the Fuji Q5 platinum turbine sprayer hvlp 1.3 from a Asian site got under 100 dollars before I paint again it is a 5 stage turbine but once I get a metal or fiberglass surface to paint on would use your method to paint used a urethane paint brush before from Harbor Freight and had a foam roller but not now I think but the foam roller wasn't lint free.

@@philmurphy3549 I bought more paint brushes today designed for Arcylic paints Finch and Mcklay paint brushes and some foam rollers smaller sized and more laquer thinner 5 gallon though but was gonna use that for the spray guns have too but haven't got the turbine sprayer yet ordered I got a small piece of metal from work that was trash where I do cleaning at they throw scrap metal at times can use the metal for test panel when using the paint brushes or spray gun I had cardboard but this metal be better. Still want to get a electric heater to warm up garage to paint in winter it is a propane heater in the garage but don't wanna use a propane heater.

@@zanaga1901 yeah that should be great, good idea using a test panel first too 👍

Hi Theo, it’s a product by International boat paint, “TopLac”, depending on where you’re living and the time you’re going to paint it, I’d use a little white spirit to thin it out if it’s a hot climate, if not, stir well and off you go 👍🍻

It’s not had any wear due to the boat still in the warehouse , so I can’t say really how durable it is over time, only thing I would say, is that the paint will be really hard by now and should withstand quite a bit I reckon dear boy 👍

Phil Murphy Brill - thanks mate! The finish you achieved was phenomenal and we’re seriously considering doing single part paint rather than messing about with two part again.

Well As I said in one of the episodes, it was my first time doing it, was it hard🤔… no it wasn’t, plus I thought in my own way, if I got it wrong, or it wasn’t going to buff up ( the cream upper section) , then so what, I’ll flat it off and try again🤷‍♂️. The one thing I would say, is that I did paint both the sides and later the upper section, well into spring or early summer so maybe that helped, plus it’s indoors too, maybe that also helped…. I’d definitely recommend the international paint though as it was very forgiving. Anyway, good luck with your project, and hopefully we’ll be back doing some more episodes, thanks for subscribing Nathan 🍻🙋‍♂️

Thank you for your comments, I think the question might be about the primer, not sure, but I rolled and tipped that also, then wet sanded and painted the top coat 🙋‍♂️

International 👍🍻

International Type and color code?

Hi Sam, thanks for subscribing, yes it does, when it went on, it was quite striped, but it seemed to flo out and leave it smooth, it won’t be long now before I give it another coat, but this time it will be spirited down to give it a really shiny finish. Regards Phil 🙋‍♂️🍻

Hi Mark, thanks for subscribing 👍, the paint is International Top Coat Enamel , Oxford Blue from memory, It was quite warm, outside but the warehouse she’s kept in is always cold, maybe that’s why it wasn’t drying on me to quickly, I didn’t think it either....... it will get one more final coat once the weather picks up temperature , Regards Phil🙋‍♂️

@@philmurphy3549 is this a poly paint or oil base ??

Hi Alex , it’s poly based 👍🍻🙋‍♂️

Try a little Penetrol in your paint to reduce it and keep a wet edge.

Hiya Ragandoil, I agree, the brush at the time felt good, I was aware that it would of been better using quality brush. If you watch the next episode due in a couple of weeks, you’ll see I’ve flatted the blue off ready for another coat, this time I will thin the paint and upgrade the brush. I’ve started painting the upper section now with a small inexpensive horse hair one and it’s turning out really well. Thanks for your comments.... Regards Phil 🍻🙋‍♂️

@@philmurphy3549 Great mate, I went to have a look at a Fairy marine 24footer yesterday, ill be using an airless for the antifouling copper coat and ultra fine finish 4x 10 thou spray tip, the water line in the same blue you have, clear for the deck and white superstructure,

Mate, you are right-handed, why don't you start on the right end keep the roller patch a tad smaller to retain the wet edge and pul to the left. your in front of your werk longer and you can keep an eye on your own progress, just a thought mate

Yes that’s also what I’m going to do as well. I just didn’t think it through at the time 👍

Hiya Nikki, I kept a tub of white spirit to hand, dipped it now and then, dried it off and then it was good to go for a while longer , thank you for subscribing also Nikki 🙋‍♂️👍🍻

Phil Murphy thank you.

Hi Mick, I looked at a few videos and it didn’t seem to show a right or wrong way to tip, I decided that tipping horizontally had more chance of the brush strokes falling out than the other way due to gravity, well that’s what I thought anyway, it’s turned out great upto now. She still requires one more coat. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching, Regards Phil 🙋‍♂️

@@philmurphy3549 It looks good Phil. The reason that I asked was that the vid on Internationals web site had them doing it vertical. I have a cat out of the water in Brisbane, Oz, And I don't want to pay the exorbitant sum that the pros want to spray paint her. So I've been doing what you have done and youtube'd roll and tip.

@@philmurphy3549 and if you haven't already done so, check out this guy, OMG! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZODesaE0bTRn6M.html and his explanation on how he got such an awesome finish www.eyeinhand.com/2011/06/27/painting-rolling-and-tipping/ some good tips there on the tipping brush and thinners

Cheers Mick, I’ll have a look thanks, I’m up for and improved methods, I used to restore old cars, I tried a bit of old school cars buffing on the front end of the boat and it works, it’s glass smooth, I’ll probably buff the lot and do a vid on it once I get to that stage, So are you in Oz Mick?

@@philmurphy3549 Yes: :) In Brisbane, well actually Scarborough QLD (google map it) fantastic sailing in the Moreton Bay. I have my catamaran out of the water at the moment and doing a rebuild like yourself but not to such an extent.

Hi Justin, in parts I took it back to gelcoat, I’d say I had two different colours to sand off, you might see that in an earlier episode perhaps, I used International paints, grey primer for above the water line then the topcoat you see. If you’ve just got gel then I’d 400 grit it first for a good key 👍🙋‍♂️🍻

It’s a Nauticus 27ft cruiser,built around 1973 , really designed for inland waterways dear boy 👍🙋‍♂️

Hi Morris, I used International Toplac Paint for the upper and lower sections of the boat… Regards Phil

Hiya Matey, no it’s not, and for now I can’t remember what the Colour is 🤷‍♂️, I’m sure I’ve mentioned it on one of these episodes regarding the painting side of things, I will let you know as soon as l can Pal… Kind regards Phil

Colour used is by International Professional Royal Blue

@@philmurphy3549 well whatever color it is, it looks good.

The colour Oxford Blue and its by International Boat paint..... Hope that helps dear boy 🙋‍♂️🍻

Thanks for that Phil and q Question Do they also come in different colors

Yes they do, quite a few, just google International boat paint topcoat colour chart , this should give you an idea 🙋‍♂️

Thanks for your help hope to get started on my boat project pretty soon

Hi Gary, nope just recovering from a bad dose of the Covid, I’ll be on it soon dear boy 😎
