Boat Paint and Marine Painting

Paint Brushes and Foam Rollers for Painting Your Boat

High density foam rollers that resist chemical solvents are essential for roll and tip painting. Foam rollers with larger bubbles and long naps will leave more runs and bubbles than a good quality high density foam roller.

For brushing and tipping polyurethane topsides and deck paints, most manufacturers and professionals recommend china bristle or badger hair natural brushes. Get a good quality brush, and treat it well. That means presoak the entire brush in solvent prior to painting, only load the brush 1/3 of the way up, clean any paint that is making its way up to the brush ferrule immediately with solvent, and thoroughly clean and rinse the brush after use, leaving it to dry wrapped in paper to hold shape and avoid splaying bristle. Or, just buy a bunch of good high density foam brushes and throw them away when you are done with them.

Be sure to check your foam brush in some of the paint or other finish you are using — some chemicals dissolve foam brushes. Test in a separate mixing container so as not to contaminate your paint.

For touchup painting and small gelcoat spray jobs, use Preval Precision Valve disposable paint sprayers.
