Has anyone used this to paint over a Marine Tex patch? I patched a crack on my gel-coated, fiberglass popup camper roof and I'm looking for paint.

I made a marine tex patch to repair a crack in the deck of my sailboat, then painted 2 coats of this paint over it. It stuck to the marine tex as well as it did to the other fiberglass surfaces I painted. No problem.

I have and it worked great. Patched a spot on aluminum boat over the rustoleum and apllied paint again to top coat it. No problems at all

I would say yes. I have used it on a fiberglass sailboat and it stuck like iron. Warning. Mix a good dollop When you try to mix a tiny amount it doesn't harden well. It is a 1-1 mix which is easy but the cure time is long which is typical with strong epoxys. If I were you I would clean clean clean the crack and then clean again with acetone. Then use this or even better ( but more expensive). Marine tex white epoxy. Good luck.

I would suggest lightly sanding the black with 150- 220 grit paper so new paint will grip well. If you can prime with something other than Latex, be better off on metal, perhaps rustoleum. I f you can get the paint in oil , would be best, but unlikely. Use gloss at any rate as harder finish I believe. The last option...Move ! Kidding Mark

You'll need to go to an automotive paint shop that's familiar with mixing tints for liners. Haven't used it on a boat, but I'm sure if you prepped the area well it would adhere and hold up well. I've used 20+ bottles of this on an Offroad trailer and it's holding up great.

Ok I did some research ... It can be used on any vinyl surface....marine applications are ok ,including fiberglass gel coat! Soooo I would yes you can,but not in the blazing sun!Good luck,Vicki D.

I use these paints on anything! I don't however expect that it would hold up well outside in the weather. I have painted on paper, canvas, wood and even glass. Very versatile!

Hi Eric. It just so happens I have stumbled on a nice sealer/finisher, a totally matte spray by Deco Art, Americana. It is nicely clear, doesn't seem to yellow the paint and is just the ticket for the crackle medium. I found it on Amazon, and it may be a bit pricier than something you'd find in Home Depot type box store, but it works fine. I'm doing a big wall cupboard in crackle, and I am thinking about using it on a table if it's conducive to using as a dining top finish. Good luck! Terri C.

Yes. I did using FolkArt brand paint (not the outdoor kind because it's too watery) and coating it with Krylon sealer. Looks amazing.

The first time I bought these, it was to use on rough dark brown cover stock. I experimented a little bit because one layer right out of the packaging wasn't quite bright enough. It'll work very well if you shake (mix) it very vigorously before hand to distribute the paint in the solvent and get the paint flowing and check the opacity on a scrap piece beforehand. At that point, one layer should have like 75-80% opacity, which is okay. If you want it to be 100%, let the first layer dry completely before going over it again delicately. If you push down too hard on the second pass it'll dig into the first layer and the solvent will redissolve it a little bit and gunk it up. If you want the absolute best results, and ANY results with several colors, especially dark colors over light colors, you'll need to fix each layer between coats with some sort of clear-coat. I use Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel... I've also used Painter's Touch Satin Clear when I didn't want too much gloss. Use a medium clear-coat for each overlap and it'll both darken the background and make the colors pop more. Good luck.

I have used it. Worked great, looks awesome. Not sure what your painting, but 1 can was just enough to pain a small car door. I used this because it had the hardener "activator" and the glass looks like it was sprayed out of a gun

If your project is glossy it could cause the Snow-Tex to come off. A matte finish works better. If you could lightly sand the spot it might hold better. Also my wife doesn't spray her items until after the snow is applied. I hope this helps some.

I use it for stickers all over my car for company advertising. I can get a year out of the waterproof vinyl. I've played with different coatings but jury is still out on what works best even necessary at all. Let dry for 15 minutes and BE SURE you do the warm-water rince, makes a big difference. We are playing with glow-in-the-dark sprays also; but ONLY use Rust-oleum sprays, we used Krylon and the crappy top on the can dripped liquid all over the vinyl, Rust-oleum has great spray nozzles. Also, the best spray we think is the one called Automative Gloss Lacquer - it's for sealing auto-paint and seems to work great on this.

May have to patch affected area first. I used JB weld. JB weld any cracks or holes, let cure, then paint Por-15 right over top of the JB weld. Pin holes in the tank, will seal with just Por-15. Clean area, as good as possible. Use chemicals from the kit, if you can't get a good surface. Marine clean , removes grease, and oil. The other is a etching type chemical, which prepares the metal, for paint bonding. I used it on a rear axle, and differential , housing. I cleaned all loose rust with a sander, drained oil from diff. First, plugged a crack with JB weld, let cure, then painted, with Por-15. Dries to a hard acrylic type finish. Hard as a rock. Oil does not seep through it!

I used Krylon's High Heat Max paint and it has held up well. http://www.krylon.com/products/high-heat-max/?gclid=CJDawZWX2b8CFUKCMgodlA8AFA You have to remember to prep the surface first or it won't adhere correctly and you will need to reapply after the first use.

I used it directly on top of my popup camper which is fiberglass. I did a thorough cleaning first and wiped with an acetone rag. rolled on smooth and looks great. I will say its not a glossy finish, but it does look great, and no leaks so far.

I would say yes. You would just sand the area to rough up the spot and mix the resin according to the directions. Apply a small piece of the fiberglass material on the spot and the put the resin down to where the material is covered. Let dry in a warm area for 24 hours and it should be good. You can then sand the area and paint it. Good luck..

I used this on a metal RV roof and had such undesirable results I will NEVER puchase it or any other product like again! I Have spent hundreds of dollars trying to find one that will do what it claims "Snow Coat" came the closest. If you read the lable on the Kool Coat can.. It is nothing more than an outdoor Latex paint.What I finaly did find that not only works well (And I would asume it does for fiberglass as well) is AMES "IRON COAT" Mobile home and RV roof coating. It is "Elasomeric" and bends with out cracking and should do well on fiberglass even coated with another product. The Bus I coated it with had some other kind of paint on it I did not remove before coating...
