Reminds me of some Steve Dashew boat interior.
BTW, did you stripped old varnish before painting?
And why paint and not white formica laminate?
Hi Taras,
I like formica a lot too, but paint is quicker, easier, less expensive, and easier to repair. And no, just sanded the old stuff.
Looks great. We’re contemplating taking this approach to a couple veneered bulkheads.
I’ve been pondering this very issue – I have a tired looking interior I want to spruce up. A 1987 boat. I’ve been wondering what to do with the interior panels. Still not sure – it seems a big step to paint over the varnished finish.
Hi Mark,
Having lived in a predominately white painted interior for 30 years, and a varnished one before that, I would advise just getting out that white paint and going for it. To me no one has ever improved on the classic Herreshoff interior. Google that for many photos and you will see what I mean, I think.
What is your recommendation for locker paint (brand and type)?
Hi Steven,
I like Petit unepoxy gloss for that use. But any good gloss oil based brushable enamel will work.
Sorry, I meant EZpoxy.
