I've recently bought a 35'
steel ketch, it's a self build. The original
builder blasted and 2 part
epoxy coated the
interior, it's in very good condition, just a few bits of rust at some seams and minor stuff down where concrete was poured into the
bilge. We'd like to cover the
interior paint in white -- I've two questions.
1. What type of
paint (system) makes sense to overcoat the two part
epoxy that was initially sprayed on? (and should i use a different paint for the small bits of rust and then overcoat everything, or is there a product that would
work to just do another whole layer. (i was thinking interprotect by international.)
2. The ballast/bilge is rough concrete with some
steel and some random lead chunks laying about, i'm wondering about sealing the concrete and overpainting with something (like floorpaint?) and do i need to worry about rust in the area the concrete is poured.
any thoughts would be appreciated. Will obviously scrap back rust as much as possible etc.
