Hi Roy,

I am impressed with your painting job!
Did you use masking tape? and what do you mean by
"one-part Polyurethane"?
I am definitely going to do the same as the fading
paint is an eyesore.

Thanks, Michael Grunstein (#345)

Hi Eric,
We bought the Polytrol at Acastillages Diffusion
(AD), a shipchandler
in Hyeres, France. They have a web site. I don't
know if the
product is available in US, but probably in
Caribbean (St. Martin or
Martinique).

Subject: [Amel Yacht Owners] Painting deck stripes

- pictures

Hi,
Following the advice posted here by Harmonie a

couple of years
ago,

we painted the deck stripes on Excalibur last

November. Excalibur
is 8

years old, and in need of deck attention (we

probably scrub the
decks

too much!!)
I have posted some pictures on this web site

for those who want
to

see what it looks like, (before and after). We

are very pleased
with

the results. We used the Embee striper, as

recommended, and one-
part

polyurethane paint (50% brown, 50% black). It

took 6 days at 3
hours

per day for the decks, and 2 days for the cockpit.

After letting
the

paint dry for a few days, we coated all the

surfaces with Polytrol,
a

French product recommended by Mr. Selo at Amel.

The decks look
like

new. The picture of the re-painted forward deck

areas show before-
and-

after of applying Polytrol.
Any questions on how to do this, please contact

me.

Regards, Roy on Excalibur SM#195
