My boat's running gear was painted in Jan of this year, and there isn't a single chip of paint left on it, except for a new intake cover for my genny - it looks perfectly black.
So, the question is, what's the difference? The same people painted all parts (our local dealer). Most of the running gear paint was gone within a couple of months. I've heard about a better process using a primer and maybe a two-part epoxy paint, or something.
What do you guys who leave your boats in the warm saltwater do, and what works?
PS - my boat's bottom was painted the year prior, and other than some edges and small areas, it still looks good - same people again.
