[Public-List] Interior/Cabin Paints

Don't tell your wife but to be quite honest, I never did get that cedar smell, you would probably need the aromatic stuff.  The stain and oïl on the forward facing side of the cedar and the paint smell in the cabin likely overwhelmed any hint of cedar.  But, it's easy to work with, I got a couple of nice clear cedar decking 2X4s which I ripped into 3/8 strips and sanded and voila ceiling! That CLC stuff would do the trick as well!  I coat all cabinetry with lemon oïl in the spring before launch, that smells nice for about a week.   

Cheers,

Thank you all very much for the information.  Very useful.

Maurice the cedar strips sound good and my wife approves "I love the smell of cedar!".
Looks like Chesapeake Light Craft and other places offer Western Red Cedar 3/4" by 1/4"
by 6' to 8' at $38.00 for 80 linear feet.   Huge difference vs the price of teak.   And CLC is local.

Keep the ideas coming!

Hello again,

Forget to mention, I did exactly what you intend to do for the pegboard area.  I epoxied the vertical strips back in place and screwed a ceiling to them (used cedar strips for the smell) stained and oiled to match cabinetry!  Very salty improvement!

Cheers,

Maurice

Hello Jonathan

I applied three coats of Tremclad white high gloss (canadian equivalent to Rustoleum I think), used a bit more than 2 gallons.  That includes behind the pegboard, which I removed and tossed, and in all lockers above the waterline.  I did not sand much but scraped off all peeling paints and really washed and scrubed the interior before painting with a potion of TSP, Mr. Clean and chlorine, wear gloves!  Use good paint brushes and a 4 inch roller and slather it on thick and go back to clean up drips.

It is holding up very well after three years, easy to clean and makes for a bright and shiny interior.  Have fun and yoga really helps for the contorsions you are about to engage in!

Cheers,

Maurice

Folks,

Took a look at Practical Sailor to see which paints they recommend for
painting the overhead, interior of the lockers, etc.  No joy.  Didn't find
a single article about interior paints.  Deck paints, topside paints,
bottom paints, bilge paints are all covered, but not interior paints.

No doubt that this has been discussed before, wondering what folks are
using now.  What have folks used and decided not to use again.

The motivating item here is that I removed the Masonite(?) pegboard in the
v-berth which is used to cover the hull on port and starboard from the top
of the v-berth to the underside of the deck.  Behind the v-berth is a
"lovely yellowish" color.   The wife will NOT be happy with that.  The
pegboard one each side of the v-berth was screwed to five shaped teak
strips oriented vertically.  Nearly all the teak strips were loose. Now
they are all loose and have been labeled for reinstallation.  The teak
strips were attached to the hull with three very generous globs of
fiberglass resin(?) each.  The globs are so thick that there was a clear
gap between the teak strips and the hull.  Need to reattach these strips
and paint the sides of the hull and the overhead before attaching a ceiling
to the strips.

Couple photos available on request.
