Engine bay paint?

[RiverRat]

What is the name of the paint trinity composites and others use on their engine bays? It has a speckled and textured finish.

Go to a auto store and get spatter paint

I don't know exactly what Trinity uses ,but Zolatone for boats can be used for this application

If you are reinforcing the engine bay epoxy dye works great.

 

[RiverRat]

Thanks! I think Zolatone was what I was looking for.

Trinity uses Zolatone 20 series trunk spatter paint. I used the Dupli-color equivalent from Autozone and it matched just fine.

Zolatone is what wdk used too o believe. I went to spray it and found i needed another gun and more than just the zolatone, like some kind of reducer so i held off until i do the next ski. I may try what ocd suggested

I used Interlux Bilgekote and used the roll and tip method, followed by green splatter to offset the white. I've used Zolatone before, and it works great as long as you have the surface prepped and primed. Just a ton of prep work goes into, as opposed to the Bilgekote, a good scrub with a degreaser and soapy water and your ready to apply.

Zolatone schmolatone. Appliance epoxy works perfectly.......it's impervious to gasoline and oil and is cheap. Can't be beat.

Not appliance epoxy.

How long have you been using it, and what kind are you using? Rustoleum? Spray or roll on?

 

[McDog]

Years. Rustoleum has been fine. So has Ace. I clean the hull with soap and water. Then acetone. Then I spray it down with regular primer. Then spray the appliance epoxy paint. It has never peeled or had any problems on any hull. I have also learned black is better because it doesn't show dirt/grease/oil as it accumulates over the years like white does.

Do you use Epoxy Primer?

 

[McDog]

No. Regular Rustoleum primer.

 

[///M5]

No. Regular Rustoleum primer.

Thanks

inside of gomez superjet before and after.

As you can see, it doesn't build up and hide surface imperfections like zolatone though. It will look the same except for the color.
