To all,
Has anyone seen a Marinette with the hull painted Royal Blue with the upper deck white? The Admiral seen the picture in the Interlux painting guides and likes it.

RiverRatt,

Tell the Admiral I was taken with the same picture and took the plunge on my 28 single express. I just sent pics to FastJeff to post on his site (or here, not sure where he was going to post them) so keep an eye out or I can email them to you. 2 part Perfection Flag Blue on hull, Hatteras Off-White on top. I love it and get a lot of...."That's a Marinette??!!"

Thanks for the info. Ok on the Flag Blue. The Perfection color card, colors are called Snow White (I was conserdering), Mederranean White, Off White (I assume is what you called Hatteras Off-White).

What do you think of Snow White, too bright?? Does the Off-White work better with the Flag Blue?

Once I finish with my project 32' I got a 28' sedan single engine that that needs new paint. I tried for a color match on the 32' from a plate on the flybridge. It was a light cream. When I pulled off the cowl I found the underlying original paint had just a little more yellow. Also the name of the Marinette color was marked on the underside of the cowl. It was "Ivory". A lot of bone white Marinettes got sun blasted that way. They left the factory looking a lot better. Jeff, I don't like bone white either.

I like the way the sedan looks with the dark colored hull. Very classic. The blue is beautiful. I also would like the Jade Mist Green hull with Cream or Fighting Lady Yellow top sides.

There are a lot of colors that look better in the little sample than they do on a whole boat. Fighting Lady Yellow is one of them. I have a friend who found that out.

RiverRatt,

I went with one part Brightside Hatteras Off White (1990) on the top because I thought that the one part finish would be easier to touch up as the inevitable wear happened from things being dropped, scraped, etc, on the deck. I never tried a pure white because I just had a cream like color in my mind. I see bright white on dark blue often and think it looks great though so go with what you like. I painted the transom flag blue and the small bit of deck under the rear rail Hatteras off white as a trial just to see if I liked the colors next to each other the year before I took the plunge and did the whole boat

Also...I LOVE the "seafoam?" green bottom paint on the boat in the Interlux brochure pictured but unfortunately Trilux doesn't come in that color....

I'm probably going to have the bottom blasted next winter, there's probably ten years worth of bottom paint on it!Lol And since I'll be going to that much trouble I was going to call Interlux and inquire about having them make or mix that color. We'll see and I'll let everyone know...
I like the red though so if they can't or wont, no big deal.
I saw a post about a get together on the Potomac or Solomons Island (thats where I am) and noticed you responded, have you heard any more about it?
I always see at least one or two M's around Solomons and mine is a regular at the dock at the Tiki bar during the summer. Have you ever been down my way?

Why not time your boat bottom blast when all (or most) steps can be undertaken in order and that depends on weather. The prime wash/etch steps goes on within hours after soda blasting. The first coat on barrier paint must follow within a max of 24 hrs. After that first barrier coat, you can relax until you are ready for the additional coats ands then anti-fouling. Maybe you want to do those preliminary steps in the fall, and the rest in the spring.

On the color of bottom paint; for me, I don't care much since so little is visible. I have had both white (ePaint) and black (Trilux) and there's not much (for me) appearance difference.

Solomons: You're right - I had fo0rgotten about those posts. We'll have to think about that at some point soon. I am still not launched but expect to be, maybe next week. Our visits there are rare but we may be up for a return trip. We have fresh memories of the storm that smacked us -zero visibility for a few minutes - on the way there for a rendezvous with another boat that never showed. It blew so hard afterwards, water levels were too low even to get off the boat. We were forced to stay at the Somers Cove Marina an extra day til the winds subsided. But we'd be up for it again - if gasoline prices don't skyrocket any further.

On bottom paint colors...white soons looks like hell in the Bay, so I went with black. It looks better far longer, but brown is probably the best choice.
