Agonizing to see you work that slowly. After painting that bit under the teak with a brush use a 7” foam roller with only enough paint to do about 3’ from top to bottom. Do it quickly. Then come back over it with the roller slowly enough and lightly enough to not cause bubbles. May have to blend that bit under the teak with a brush. Put more paint on your roller and continue like that. It’s like painting a wall, not like painting the Mona Lisa. Speed is important with most paint. Take the tape off as soon as you’re done the last coat, because it can take dried paint with it. If painting outside, what tape you use is important, because not all painter’s tape holds up to the sun as advertised. Test the tape first.
@@philmurphy3549 yes-just want to let others know how to do it and not be afraid to do it. I’ve painted hulls for many years-it’s easy peasy. I paint mine from a raft. Decks are a bitch.
@@susanc.8009 that’s good to know, trust me some of the other episodes are more comical and less boring, although I have to say, it was slow but really really satisfying, and yes I had lots of time on my hands too, the masking tape did come off ok as I used from memory a good grade, fortunately the boat is still inside so I’ve the luxury of being able to not have weather issues, the deck I’ve not done yet, more episodes are in the pipeline, just have to get some enthusiasm to get back at it…. Thanks for your input 👍 Regards Phil
Good work. You should load the tipping brush so it’s damp with paint before tipping. That way it won’t suck paint from the surface and drag it across and away from you edges
Hi Huseyin, If you go onto the paint company called “ International boat paint” you’ll find the paint called Toplac, this is an enamel paint, mine is Oxford Blue in Colour. It usually takes two coats for brush or one for Rolling and Tipping, you can use this paint on most boat types, fibreglass,metal, wood etc. The formula is on their website. Hope this helps 🙋♂️😎👍
Hi Phil, Great video! One question, If you can't get the whole job done finished in one day, can you come back the next day and pick up where you left off without noticing a difference? Thanks and all the best from California
Hi Monte, my apologies for not getting back to you quickly, I didn’t see your question until now sorry, I think you’d need to complete the area your wanting to do rather than stop halfway through, because you’ll definitely get a line from where you finish to where you start. If you look at the video’s on the upper section I’ve done, I’ve split that up into painting sections by masking in places you’ll not see, because the area is to large to do ,and keep wet to successfully do in one hit. Hope this answers your question dear boy, stay safe and thanks for your patience . California love to visit 🇺🇸🙏
TopLac by International is the paint and it is Silicone alkyd premium Gloss Marine Enamel, it retains both the colour and Gloss longer than conventional Gloss Paints dear boy 👍
Hi Javier, The paint I use is by International Boat Paint, it’s called TopLac and the Colour is Oxford Blue. If you live in a hot country,maybe thin it slightly with white spirit, as this will keep a wet edge as you move along the boat 👍 Regards Phil
Nope not a stupid question actually, I’ve polished the cream upper section and it’s looking good, (think there’s an episode on that). Hopefully I’ll be back on it soon, once this long Covid allows 👍 Regards Phil
Hiya Ballygarran, at the time I was ready to paint, I didn’t have a compressor or spray gear, so I went for the rolling and tipping, I’m actually thinking of flatting the hull off and having a go at spraying it also as I think it would make a good episode plus it would show the two options, I’ve now got the spraying equipment plus, I’ve plenty of time on my hands haha! Regards to you my Friend 🇮🇪
@@philmurphy3549 thanks for your answer. I’ve never owned a boat but for some reason my wife has fallen in love with the idea so it looks like I’ll have a new project some time in the foreseeable. It will have to be something that needs a fair bit of work as we have a small budget. So your video diary is absolutely fantastic. I’ve watched the first 9 episodes tonight but it’s off to bed and I’ll catch up with the others tomorrow whilst the wife watches some rubbish on Netflix. All the best from Co Galway
@@ballygarran thanks for your kind words dear boy, Remember, if you do get yourself a little project, very little is off the shelf, and it’s going to test your patience and D I Y skills, oh and rather deep pockets too. Well I better get on with some more episodes if your upto number 9 …. 🙋♂️🇮🇪🇮🇪
@@ballygarran yes more videos to come, just need to get filming, John ( cameraman) , hopefully will be able to do some more filming soon, I think we are on episode 31 at the moment. 👍
Hiya mailformiller, I considered that, but as I’ve rubbing straights nearly the full length of the boat, I decided to tip the way I did, I think I got what looks like a good finish thankfully. I think I partly tipped vertically on the upper sides in the cream, and I did see a slightly better finish. Thanks for your comments dear boy 🍻🙋♂️
Phil Murphy - I liked your vid, which was good confirmation of other tipping vids I’ve watched. I’m building a 17’ paddleboard, of which I’m going to paint the hull red (Interlux). Learning about tipping, “maintaining the wet edge”, etc. Probably the biggest frustration is finding out when one should pull off the masking tape - everyone has a different answer! (Going with after the final coat has completely dried, pulling tape 45 degrees away from the paint
I’d film it, as it’s always useful to see alternative versions of rolling and tipping, as for keeping a wet edge I agree it’s difficult, but where I’m located (north west England) together with being in a warehouse, I wasn’t to troubled with it tacking off to quickly with the blue, but I did thin out the cream by 5% from memory due to the area’s being a little wider. Going onto to the masking tape, I had issues with a cheaper paper brand, but zero with the blue tape, and yes pulling at 45 degrees is a must, I also learnt that using a hairdryer just to put a little softness back into the paint also helps, ( well it did for me, as my warehouse is cold even in summer). Thanks for watching and your comments, and good luck with your project 🙏👍🙋♂️
I enjoyed your video and style. I will be doing mine
@@billmadle1235 cheers Bill, I hope it goes on well 🤞👌
Hi, ta for advise, just about to start painting a boat... I understand the nerves you were feeling.
Once your into it, you’ll be fine it’s quite easy once your in the rhythm dear boy 👌😎

Wow this looks so easy .Thanks for the tips .looks Great. NEW SUB 💥👍👊
Hi KZ, thanks for subbing, and yeah it’s easy once your into a rhythm 👍🍻🙋♂️
Good work. You should load the tipping brush so it’s damp with paint before tipping. That way it won’t suck paint from the surface and drag it across and away from you edges
Hi Jimmy, yes I agree, I found in the end that it worked out far better by doing just that dear boy 🍻👍
good work finished perfect
Thanks Highlander , I appreciate your comment 🙋♂️🍻
hello good work. I would like to learn something. Is the boat painted with acrylic paints

Hi, just caught this series. Did you thin the paint, if so how much? Is it enamel?
TopLac by International is the paint and it is Silicone alkyd premium Gloss Marine Enamel, it retains both the colour and Gloss longer than conventional Gloss Paints dear boy 👍
What kind of paint did you use? Brand? Thanks

Stupid question...i know you can polish gelcoat but what about topside paint???
Nope not a stupid question actually, I’ve polished the cream upper section and it’s looking good, (think there’s an episode on that). Hopefully I’ll be back on it soon, once this long Covid allows 👍 Regards Phil
Is there any reason why you decided to roll paint rather than compressor spray? Thanks in advance

Loos great what kind of paint are you using ?
Hiya, it’s paint by International,available worldwide I think , thanks for watching 🙏🙋♂️🍻
@@philmurphy3549 was it Perfection or Toplac? thanks!
Yes it was perfection paint 👍
Why can be sprayed?
Yes I’m thinking it can but you will have to thin it out first. I’m going to try that method 🙋♂️🍻
What color blue is that?
Oxford Blue from International Boat Paint, toplac from memory dear boy 👍
Interlux suggests you go vertical when u tip
Hiya mailformiller, I considered that, but as I’ve rubbing straights nearly the full length of the boat, I decided to tip the way I did,
