I have seen some comment on removing the liner material and other 25 owners can comment on that. I had a Cal 25 about 35 years ago and it had indoor- outdoor carpet on the inner hull.

Pettit touts it as adhering to any surface, even glossy, without sanding (but with washing first). They also claim that it discourages mildew. Now it just so happens that I am a skeptic about "adheres to any surface," just as I disbelieve an offer of "free" anything, or effortless accomplishment of any kind. So I prepped my surface a bit more than necessary. I've been very happy with the Dura-White. I also took my quart to the local Ace Hardware and had them tint it to match a chip of the original interior paint. Let's just say that I had a lot of chips of the original paint, or whatever that miserable substance was that Cal slathered over the inside. Later I found that the paint can had a big chunk of solids left at the bottom--the store's paint shaker had not completely mixed it up. The next time I'm going to stir it up first then take it in for tinting. Chris Campbell > >

Marsh, after finishing the grinding and sanding, I did a dust washdown, then an acetone wipe-down prior ro painting several coats (of the exterior house paint mentioned in the other note).

Yes, Mike, the later CAL 25s (and I'm sure other models) had the carpet on the wall. SOB to remove because of the adhesive and the fact the foam backing of the carpet stays with the glue on the walls. Mostly scraping. Also, that fibered stuff they used to paint the roof for a while is the dickens to get off, and edges will not sand smoothly. Paint I use on interior (don't like glossy interior surfaces) is Sears Weatherbeater or equivalent exterior house paint. It does have anti-mold components. Seems durable.

I have a cal 27, i am looking for ideas on how to paint the hull above the waterline with the boat in the water. tips/tricks ? thanks andy

Don't do it? In the water, there are too many variables that could mess up your work IMHO. Depends I guess what you expect the outcome to be and risks your willing to take....it is all personal with the one we love. I know a guy that painted his boat in the water at a dock...worked great "for him" and does look much better. I just would have chosen a more controlled environment on the hard.

The actual painting would be very hard. But the prep work would be downright nuts, not to mention very ecologically irresponsible. One reason to take a boat to the boatyard is because they're set up to handle the toxic runoff and airborne dust. It's *posssible* to do the topsides in the water, but I think it would be like painting you car on the way to work... bw ----- Original Message ----- From: Sail Away To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 6:47 PM Subject: Re: [Cal_Boats] PAINT Don't do it?
