Interlux Bilgekote question

[brylon644]

Going to paint the inside of my carbon brawler. Do I prime the carbon first or not? Its a new hull

Why paint?

Quick sanding and wiped with acetone. Grey bilgekote

Ok thanks. Was thinking I could get away with just cleaning and paint. Just wanted to make sure it would turn out and hold up ok. I bought the grey and am going to try and tint it black. Will post some picks when I'm done

Just curious Bry,...why paint?!! Visual carbon too dark for ya? Or just not worth clearing sanding ,clearing etc?

I added my own inserts, and lets just say my carbon laying skills aren't on par. Also its just the inside which no one will ever see but me. The time to clear and sand and clear again wouldn't be worth it. Black paint is the easiest and is easy to touch up/repaint if I have to.

So to anybody wondering. You can tint the interlux paint... but from what I can tell you can't tint the grey all the way to a black. I added about pint of black colorant to the grey quart. Tested it on wood and some fiberglass and found that it doesn't dry hard compared to the untouched quart.
If anyone has any insight on how to change the grey into the black please share.
