My pirogue build was one problem (error) after another. Wanted to finish it natural, but decided to paint it because I was not happy with the splices in the Luan.
Went to Ace and told them I was painting another boat and wanted exterior latex like I had befor. The clerk prepared to mix the color and I noticed the can was different. I asked if it was the same as befor (exterior). He said yes they change the color of the cans all the time.
I put on two coats and then decided to put one more but, Did not have enough paint to finish. My neighbor was going to ACE that day and offered to bring me a can. When I started to copy the color code, it said interior. :evil:
:cry:
The store manager replaced the paint with exterior at no charge. He thought like me, it would be OK if I painted over the interior with exterior. Wrong!
Ended up striping it and repainting. Lesson = There is more to exterior paint than U.V. inhibitors. Read the label.
