Re: Stus-List Painting boot top
I removed the old cove stripe and replaced using vinyl 3M tape. Excellent result. The prep is the same as tape, but painting requires taping off and two days to apply two coats. Interlux must sit 16 hours before sanding. Instead the 3M Vinyl tape can be done in a smaller weather window, only needs a few hours of dry weather to apply, goes on dry and complete. I later added stripes of tape above the boot stripe and that really set off the boat. I used blue painter's tape as a spacer to get the stripes all parallel and they came out great. Looks great seven years later. The original cove stripe on my boat was a thin gold pinstripe tape and the new tape is thicker and better quality. I would highly recommend using vinyl tape on a boat as it saves a lot of time.

Stus-List Stus list painting boot top
Hi Rod, I did mine using Petit Perfection (Now called Interlux Perfection) and after 6 coats on one side and 5 on the other it came out: Perfect. After 5 years, it's still perfect and the only maintenance it has received is the occasional wipe down using lake water while we're swimming. Picture: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M3bMlRChkvkRnGy7Qd4sIv1MYTHde0Rj/view?usp=sharing The reason for the multiple coats was the learning curve / I wasn't willing to settle for anything short of perfection. A few pointers: - Doing it in the summer when the weather is warm and humid you have to get it done before 9:30 am or before the sun is high enough to make any difference on surface temperature - Experiment with the catalyst mix / test on a smooth test surface - My best painting technique was brushing it on with a super soft brush, start with horizontal stroke and "tip" downward to break-up the brush lines. All that done quickly to keep the wet edge and the tipping is one or 2 touches ONLY per spot. Just keep going, let it lay down on its own. (I have also tried roll and tip with different rollers / spraying is "Verboten" at my yard) - Make sure you sand to a very smooth finish as prep and between the coats https://www.wholesalemarine.com/interlux-perfection-high-gloss-marine-paint/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAuefvBRDXARIsAFEOQ9FoTqo-FnsenizBeHtOU2VeEiJmLkzHU_QBKDP6T-cfwehXui1HM8AaAjEpEALw_wcB Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.

Re: Stus-List Painting boot top
Yes, We repainted both the Blue and Red boot stripes on our C 35-3 last spring. We used Interlux Boot Stripe paint. It came out well. We've had many compliments on both the update to the boot stripe as well as the other clean up of the boat. It was pretty dirty and in great need of some TLC when we bought her.
