Opinion on just painting rough surfaces?

I’ve never dealt with a paint that adhered as well or was as tough as Kiwigrip. Not sure if that would be the silica or a quality feature of the paint?

One thing to remember when doing ceiling panels is sometimes you are dealing with compound curves, so not as easy as would first appear.

Re: Opinion on just painting rough surfaces?

We used an elastomeric paint from Home Depot in the head of our old Searunner 38 catamaran. It left a decent texture which may mask some of the cloth print through, but as I recall was a pain to work...

We used a “special” exterior water based house paint with a mildew inhibitor on the interior of our boat. We painted about a year ago and no signs of mildew yet.

Re: Opinion on just painting rough surfaces?

My problem with liners is they can be heavy and if not well done, can look worse than a non faired painted interior. If well done they can look great but will be costly in both labor and material.

I think most people are looking for a perfect finish on the interior of their boats, but there are a few that would appreciate the ease of cleaning and weight savings of a non faired painted interior...

Our cat is all painted over unfaired glass on the inside.
