RE : [Amel Yacht Owners] Help !!! Maramu Deck Repainting ?

Hi Jochen and all Amel owners,

About "pseudo teak" Amel's deck I didn't do by myself, but I saw last year in Bahamas and Fort Lauderdale, two examples of refitted Super Maramu deck. Both adopted same system to repaint dark lines (pseudo joint). They used a little hand paint striper : MASTER STRIPER by Embee Corporation, ref N° 1100 (EMBEE CORPORATION, PO Box 1268 - Springfield, OH 45501-0126 Phone: 800-278-9745 Fax: 937-323-0733, presently no web page available). There are several widths of wheel-strip in the kit. One is convenient for this work. We bought this tool by PEARL shop at Fort Lauderdale (US dealers network : http://www.pearlpaint.com ) . Buy 2 of 3 of these cheap tools. You have to roll this tool slowly and with caution to make a proper strip. Happily, dark lines are in troughs on deck. This makes rolling easier. Clean as soon as possible smudges with rag and solvent. A Super Maramu deck is a 2 weeks work, but working only AM. It's too hard to do that all day long (sun and knees …). One of these Super Maramu was refitted with black lines. This not very happy. Contrast is too hard. The other one was treated with a paint very close to the original, and result is very good. This is an epoxy 2 components paint : SHERWIN- WILLIAM Company, colour SABLE ref SW6083 (+ - 110$ gal) http://www.sherwin-williams.com After almost 4 years under the sun, dark lines of our deck are beginning to disappear (except cockpit wich is permanently covered by sprayhood + extension sun awning). This phenomena is not regular. Some areas are more affected than others. We probably have to consider a deck refit in 2 or 3 years. Better late than ...now Best regards. Patrick Naegels Caramel SM329

Hello to all fellow Amel owners. I would like to address an issue many of the ones of you owning older Amel yachts will probably face as well. One day the time comes when you have to revitalize your boat's deck, i.e. repaint the white antislip areas as well as the "pseudo-teak". We have asked Amel but their friendly response was "we do not recommend to paint the deck" (Joel, what is your opinion on this ?) Who of you have done so, what paint (or material) have you used, and what are your experiences ? Presently I am planning to use International's Interdeck antislip paint. Does anybody have experience with that product ? What else would you recommend ? Your support and useful comments will be HIGHLY appreciated. Regards, Jochen Hofmann Maramu # 143 "Blue Song" Yahoo!
