Dinghy Paint

KaptainKen · 01-08-2006, 14:58

I want to refurbish my elderly "AB" hypalon fabric rigid bottom inflatable. Has anyone had any experience with "SRC Tuff-coat - Synthetic Rubber Coating" (It's available at www.allinflatables.com) On the website they show a step-by-step fix-up project that makes it look fairly easy.

Has anyone used this stuff? Can anyone advise me about using it? How about longevity?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with that brand of "inflatable paint", but had a neighbor that used the stuff sold by West Marine ... looked great ... for about 6 months, by years end it looked far worse than if it hadn't been painted at all!
