Paint suggestion.....

Post by georgepet »

Hi folks......

has anyone redone the panels which hold the coaming boxes in an F32 cockpit?

I've removed the panels and redone all the teak, cleaned and redone the coaming boxes but am stuck on the panels themselves.

I went to a couple of hardware stores looking for a similar material and have not found it all and so thinking of just re-sanding the old one to remove stains and other crap and then repainting the panels prior to reassembling them and re-installing but wondering what paint would be best cause I can't divine what exactly the surface material is....

cheers

I don't have any pics of mine but I used 1/4" cherry plywood. I put maybe 6 coats of Epiphane high gloss on them and they look awesome. Cherry looks very close to the teak borders.
