Ok it's time.

I am going to boaters world this weekend to pick up what i need to paint the boat:

i have a $ 200 max limit- Can it be done? It's a fishin' boat and dont need to be very shinny, I just want it to look better then it does now- I don't care about good paints, I am not planning on owner her for a long time so just to get a few years of enjoyment out of the paint

I heard on the Iboats.com forum that i don't have to primer it-if you dont wanna, and can just slap paint on, and it looks just as good. are they BSin' me?

I don't understand all of this- can you buy one can of paint, one can of primer and paint it, or do you need to mix paints w/ all kinds of chemicals?

I am thinking on Using Interlux as it is kinda affourdable paint.

1 part, 2 part what does all this mean?

I tried searching this and many sites but can't seem to find the answer- so again this is my last resort asking yas


I am going to use a roller- while my uncle or dad or whoever uses a fine brush to get the bubbles out, Is this correct?

There is Cracks, pits etc in the hull that i NEED to fill- i will use MARINE-TEX or similar filling putty...... I need to Re-Glass An Area near the bow (i already have the glass repair kit)

How long after i sand the boat, then put on the Patch can i sand/primer/paint it ?

You guys have answered so many questions on this topic already but now i have the money and need to know



Is there any books about this in the library?

thanks!
please help,
Mike
