Paint application by roller, laying off by brush
I know it’s been 9 years and may well be out of production but what was the model of Bosch Orbital sander you used to remove the paint?
hi the sander is a bosch gex 150 pro when i am scabbling any speed control polisher will work you just need the scabbler head which you can get from rafina ltd
Brilliant video
Possibly the most informative series of videos I've ever seen.
Gonna do this 👍
Thanks for these videos , im on this, im gonna do it right 👍
Hello John from Romania 🇷🇴 Verry WONDERFUL job on this boat ! Can i paint a car like this, with a brush ?
yes you can the primer i used is no longer available but the process is still good
Who ever taught him to paint like that,he can’t even lay off properly right amateur only talks a good job.
Hello; what must I do or must not do to avoid brush marks please? I am using rustoleum paint thinned a bit with white spirit
hi thanks for watching i would not suggest that you thin with white spirit as it can effect the gloss i have not used rustoleum myself but would check the data sheets for this product and see what they recommend epifanes have a product in there range called easy flow which as it says allows the the paint to flow reducing brush marks remember the more you thin paint the more coats that will be required
wow that came out great. can u pls suggest a the brushes u used? was the first one firm and 2nd soft?
Thankyou for sharing these skills....
I am a retired french polisher learning to paint my boat, very helpful video but John rubbing down without wearing a mask, not good John I am sure you know, make it a habit. Jacob
you painted straight from the tin
OK, I’ve listened to it about three times now, what is the name of the tape you use? My old ears just can’t catch the name of it, sorry!
Hi its tessa tape
@@JohnbarnardBiz thank you very much!
Curious now if i can add coach paint into a spray gun with paint thinners and just spray gun it coz i need to paint my classic landrover and i cant hold a brush or roller😂
What kind of paint and brush?
Nice, are you using oil based paint with synthetic brush ? Cheera
hi yes i use purdy brushes for most of my work due to the way we are applying the paint i have found them to be the best
After a complete disaster trying to paint a table brunswick green, I sanded it down and started again using your technique. I have to say, I'm well chuffed even after just the first coat, I can't wait to get another coat on to see how it looks. Many thanks for sharing and taking the time record the videos!
thank you i am in the process of doing another full boat paint start to finish
@@JohnbarnardBiz Great!
I can't hear anything you're saying, too much echo.
Great series of videos with good content
thank you
What paint is it.
Best boat paint video I have seen, so many young people doing it all wrong, with no PPE
My old boss favorite saying.. "Long way is the short way" Makes sense too me👌🏽😆
I've had to reprimand relatives for not understanding you ALWAYs follow manufacturer instructions on everything you ever use. Its there for a reason.
How much would you charge to coach paint my sprinter campervan in blue. Regards Gary
Hi Gary sorry not something i do
@@johnbarnard4146 ok John, thank you for your swift reply, I'll watch your videos over again and I may try to paint it myself in the spring. Regards Gary sefton
Good to know

Hi. I have noticed that a few boats are built of aluminium not steel. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.
Great tutorial, thanks for your time.

I'm curious if anyone knows what material he is using for demo purposes? I'd like to practice on something before I attempt a large area.
Thank you so very much for this extremely informative series...it is a joy to see the finished article (even though I actually thought the boat looked pretty good before you started...I guess that shows you the limit of my aspirations!).
I've been watching a lot of your uploads to get some practical information to help me paint a boat for a friend . He hasn't got the funds or place to get it painted in a tunnel , so it's going to get a freshen up on the mooring . Although it can't be taken back to the steel , is it still possible to simply take it back to the original primer , taking off any flaking paint , then rub down , re prime , and paint ? I appreciate it's not ideal , but If there is anything I could do with the constraints on this job , I'd really appreciate the advice .
I’d like to use vactan on my van roof, just wondered, can I use normal vehicle primer on top of Vactan ? Very informative video 👍
Great work. I’m painting my boat, The paint work is not to bad. My question is do I need to go back to steel or a sanding would be good enough . Thanks
John what are the benefits of using International brand Yaght Primer over Red Oxide?
very true if they thought it needed thinning then they would put it in during manufacture
Great work man. Looks soo simple, at the same time only because he's got that skill unlocked,💯
.
Varnished my boat this week, looks amazing. Thanks for your help
Can I use this paint on my antique car
Hi yes people regularly use these types of paints
@@JohnbarnardBiz thank you
What colour/code did you do the coach lines John?
I think it was number 1 in the Epifanes range
Hi John, What is the waiting list like to have a Boat stripped and repainted please?
Hi drop me an email at john@johnbarnard.biz and I will give you details
Sanding to the edge is great news to see
Great videos John. Do you have to sand down between 1st and 2nd coats or sand after all 3 under coats are on? I’ve only 240 sand paper, that ok?
No need to sand between coat as long as you don't exceed overcoating time chech the data sheets and they will let you know how long between coats at different temperature
Fantastic information! Thank you for sharing your time and skill with us !
Very helpful series - one question; you mentioned Multi 40 paint is best for gunnels and roof, I’ve tried to google this but nothing comes up! Does it have another name? Thanks!
hi the product is Epifanes muti-forte hope this helps
Brilliant, thank you Carol
do I need to put an undercoat over sanded old paint?
I would suggest 2 coats to give you a good base for you top coats
@@JohnbarnardBiz thankyou, there are a few scratches, down to the original undercoat if i cant sand them down level what do you suggest me fill them them with or will 2 coats of undercoat do the job. Im just want to paint a top coat within the coach lines
Hi John just wondering who sells the tool you use for removing the paint because I can seem to find anyone here in Ireland that sells them because I could really do with one. Thanks
Hi Rafina Ltd
@@JohnbarnardBiz sorry what is the proper name for the tool. Thanks 👍
@@brianoman6076 hi its a scabbler made by rafina
Hi sorry for being so annoying just wondering if Refina of Poole in Dorset is the company and if so the only one that was similar to yours was a Epf1503 scabbler +c4 cutters once again thanks very much.
@@brianoman6076 hi yes thats the place my machine is a polisher with their head and c4 cutters
Fabulous video's john excellent ⚓⚓⚓⚓🇬🇧🇬🇧
