Can I also paint the bottom of my Starcraft aluminum boat with this? I need a white color. Thanks!

1. I don't think this is the right paint for aluminum or at a minimum, you will need a special "aluminum primer" paint (I think Rust-Oleum makes it). 2. I think for a boat that will stay in the water for much more than a typical 12 hour day each time it is used, you need professional equipment and paint to do the job, probably best left for marine shop.

Yes you can. I have used it on the bottom of a aluminum v bottom and my fiberglass covered wood boat and it holds up just fine. I don't leave them in the water though. Been on both for two years now with no problem

This paint is not for below the waterline use. It's a tough paint though and if your boat is trailered and not kept in the water for extended periods it might do okay. I'd contact the manufacturer.

I think you could paint it with any good paint. I would just paint it after its installed, otherwise the paint could crack and peel. I stained mine and since stain kind of permiates the product, it would fine for me.

First you start with a colorless epoxy. Then you can add tint (like from this kit) or any "really white" filler you think you can get away with. Depends on how much strength you need. If you just want a coating, go with epoxy paint. I've used expensive marine stuff that is very white.

I don't see why not. The finish is not real durable. We have put Waterseal over ours after one season. A good outdoor paint wold probably work fine. If you wanted to do this I would consider doing it before assembly.

I am sure you can paint any thing if you have the right primer and paint for the surface. Ask the paint store for the right products.

I may not be as much help as you would like because my project was much smaller. I bought two gallons to do a 17 foot speedboat, where I went up the sides of the floor a foot and back in the well. I did two coats and used less than one gallon. By the way, if you don't like the colors that are offered, I bought the light gray and took it to our local hardware store where they tinted it for me just like they would've done with a white base coat. It came out just a little darker than the sample in the store but not much. I was very happy and almost matched my boat color perfectly. Sorry I couldn't have been more help.

Shiella, You could lightly sand and and then coat with a an exterior urethane or spar varnish. These are the coatings used by people with boats. Depending on where you live, you may have to do this every couple years. Cover the table canvas or plastic when not in use e.g winter. Good LuckJasper

Yes, you can use it on any color, including white. It will make the color bright in your case. I've used it on a dark blue, maroon, and fire truck red clearcoat paint. It just brings out the natural color and finish of the paint. It should make your vehicle more bright.

No. It will not look good to paint this. We just put this solar white lights on the top of the vinyl posts which were already in white. Looks good that way.

Hello, I'm sure once sanded down you can paint the item, but it'll void the return policy and damage the reflective chrome finish. Thank you, Edgar Manhattan Lane Support Team

I have a 21 foot center console boat and the 1/2 gallon will be more than enough to do the job.This stuff cleans but leaves the aluminum a white color. It does not make it bright and shiny.

I painted mine white. No problem. Not too sure it would accept stain, anyway. It is sort of a rubbery surface. I painted it first, tacked it down around the base of a round stair landing and then touched it up. No problem.Good Luck

Yes, you would just use less of the white colored mineral. There are 3 different colored mineral paints, you can use more or less of one of the colors. I was going for a grey color as well and was happy with the results.

Hi Luke, Thank you for contacting Way Basics! Storage Cube is available in White color. We have 9 colors available for this product. Also, our products are paintable, but you will need to prepare the surface first before doing so. Make sure the surface is dry and free of any dust or other material that may hinder the adhesion of the paint. It will also be necessary to use a primer on the surface before painting to assure you get the best possible result. Because our products are water resistant, painting directly on the boards without a primer will create the paint to "bead up" similar to what may happen if water comes into contact with the surface. When choosing a primer, we recommend using a product that will bond to surfaces such as paper, formica or a similar nonporous material. As long as you use a good primer, you will be able to use a water based paint and paint the product to your liking. Please note that painting Way Basics products is at your own risk with no returns or exchanges. Jimmy Chiang Way Basics, Founder jimmy@waybasics.com

I would use hide glue found in lumber yards mixed with water 1tsp hide lue to a cup of warm water. Makes a great stable water color paint. Maybe a dash of alum.

Did mine over a year ago, let me see......used spray copper paint for the haul, bottled paint used white, black, the instructions will tell you other colors you will need. One thing I did on my own, I had a dark wood stain, I used it on the deck. Let it dry and sprayed it with a poly spray to keep it from smearing. I know wood stain is for wood, but it will give it a great look. One thing take your time with the ship, work a few hours at a time. May get frustrated at times, but worth it at the end. Any other questions just ask.

Go to an auto body paint store and get tint from them usually it is free. It works great on a boat. Just make sure you clean well and scuff sand. Both aluminum boats and over gelcoat/fiberglass. I live in florida and i have done 1 truckbed and 7 boats with this product. All of my customers have been extremely happy with the end results. Just make sure to pull tape when its still wet and give ample drying time. Its best to mix all parts in a paint bucket, clean one of the containers and fill that one to use to avoid color mismatching. Best of luck.
