Repaired the floor where captain's chair was soft so going to paint floor . Really thinking about garage paint has any body used it and had it hold up? Plus have spider cracks I've read past post just wondering any past pros & cons .
 
Ive had good results with deck & pouch paint. Problem with any paint is once you start, you have to re-do it at. Some point. Others have had good results with durabak (sp?) like products
 
Thats good to hear, plan on scuffing the hole floor , will the paint fill the spider cracks after 2 coats or will they show up , do i need to fill them first .would show pic but i haven't had any luck with posting pictures tryed photo bucket all that maybe my phone
 
As I've mentioned in many posts, after I repaired the underside of my floor I covered the entire deck with U-Pol Raptor truck bed liner. It's like Rhino liner, a rubber Urethane spray on product that, like Rhinoliner lasts just about forever. Non-skid properties are fantastic, soft on bare feet, easy clean up with a power washer (Important for removing fish guts and blood) This will be my 5th season and it shows zero signs of wear.
It comes in several standard colors as well as a tintable base that you can make your own color. My deck is a light tan. Search u-pol on this site for posts and pics of my deck. It's not the cheapest stuff around, but it wears like iron.
And like Phatdaddy said.... good prep is 90% of the finish results. Oh, and you can buy it on eBay as well as auto supply houses and Amazon.
 
Thanks destroyer & phatdaddy scuffed whole floor & new rebuilt fuel lid & used 1 gal of porch patio enamel from Home Depot really like it . 2 coats covered very well. &still have 1/2 gal. Left . Hopefully put motor in this next weekend & figure out what i am going to do about floor drains. Temporarily going pipe them to bilge at least it won't go thru stringers. Hopefully Going Straight out back 1 1/2 pipe after i Figure how she sits with new motor. Its a mercruiser 350 mag had a 305 in it before.
Thanks again for advice.
 
Glidden porch and floor paint is holding up good for me on my 19 ft skiff. I beat the heck out of it. Love that I have over half a gallon left to paint the whole thing several more times if I feel it needs it.
