OK, I know that cheap isn't always wise, but I'm wondering if anyone has had good results from some non-marine paint on a wood rudder & daggerboard. I'm restoring an older Sunfish and the original rudder is very stained from sitting partially in the water (w/ a green beard!), so it'll never look good varnished. (I do have it sanded down at the moment.) I'm also building a new daggerboard out of African tapele wood (similar to mahogany) and was thinking I'd just paint it to match the rudder, although I might varnish it instead if it looks really cool when finished. Anyway, as to my question: Anyone have a good cheap paint suggestion? I do have some Pettit topside paint, but they recommend their own marine sealer and marine primer ($$$) first. Anyone happy w/ more common Home Depot kind of paints? Looking for success stories from those who have been happy w/ results of what they've tried...
THanks!
