In Response To: Tank Out/Painting Bilge (Frank Fimmano)

Frank,
I did all accessable bilge areas on my 28 last year. Clean with degreaser (most of the guys on this website if I remember correctly like the castrol super clean). I do not remember what brand I used, just to a thorough job making sure to get all oils and grease up. Use paint thinner or similer solvent just prior to painting and let it flash off for a few minutes. I used BilgeKote(white) from bow to stern. I am happy with the results. Every once in while just clean it up with soapy water and it shines like new. That is just my .02. Good luck, Kevin
