Ocean 6.25 project RIB Hull
Hi all,
I have started work on my Ocean 6.25 project boat, removing the old anit-foul and a brushed on coat of paint above the anti-foul line. I am planning to do all the sanding/anti-foul removal before I replace the floor, so I do sanding and destruction in one phase, painting int he second then refit and finishing in the third.
The tubes are in great condition, so whatever I do it will be with the tubes in situ, rather than removed.
I'm starting on Transom and hull.
There are a couple of previous repairs on the hull and transom which were not particularly well finished, which I thought I would take the time to finish properly. Some have raise edges which I am sanding down to be level with the rest of the hull, but this wears through the gel coat repairs to expose the resin.
In addition, there are a few dents and dings I will be fixing up when I am at it. There is nothing major on the hull, purely small cosmetic dings and bumps.
I want to paint the whole hull when finished to change colour and give a nice finish, but not sure which type of paint/finish to use. Originally I was planning 2pac the hull, but I don't know if this will be suitable to go over both the old gel coat once sanded and keyed and the areas where I have sanded through or performed repairs.
I currently plan to flow coat the floor once replaced, then refit the interior.
A couple of questions:
What type of filler would be best to use on the smaller dings?
Will 2 pac work on the mixed finish materials the hull will have when I am ready to paint?
Do I need to use flowcoat on the floor, or if I am already 2pac painting the hull would this do?
Should I really be flowcoating the hull too, rather than 2pac?
