Hi everyone!
Im very happy to show you my new project. I Just bought a old but complete laser II with the idea to do some restoration and put it back on the water. Fortunately the boat is in ''not to bad'' condition. I would say that the main job it going to be on the deck. Even thought the deck is solid and I couldn't fine any deslaminated area, the paint is worn out and is a few spots ist possible to see the fibreglass. I have in mind to clean, sand and paint the deck but I would appreciate some advise of experienced people. I have read some previous post too so im not 100% lose but I have 2 subjects im not 100% yet.
1. what to do with the non skid texture in case I sand the whole deck till have a clean surface ready to paint.
I thought to install some grip tape or I know in old boats people apply quartz dust and decks.
2. what paint could be better.
I guess it would be necessary to apply primer before the paint but also im not sure if gelcoat or polyurethane it would be better. I have a compressor (40 liters 2.5 hp) and spray gun I can use)
I hope someone can give me good advice and I'll be uploading info and photo about the progress.
Thank you guys
