Question

Can i use IMRON paint on a boat ?

Answer 1

Yes, IMRON was originally developed by DuPont as a heavy fleet truck and aircraft paint.  

It's the most durable paint I've ever seen to use on a car or boat.   That stuff is as hard as rock when it's fully cured.    

I've seen it on several boats with great results.

Answer 2

I think IMRON paint is automotive paint?  I don't think it would hold up well as boat paint.  It is made for a different purpose and different conditions.  These links may help.  Best of luck with it.

Answer 3

Yes you could use Imron, I think one of the big yacht makers use to paint their boats with it.   however, the only safe way to spray imron is in a full suit and using a air fed respirator.  No filtration mask is safe.  

I painted my boat 13 years ago with a sherwin williams product, it goes directly over the gelcoat, no primer.  This way, if painting in a similar color, scratches and such are much less visible.  I forget the name, something like Sunbright or a name like that.

Painting the gel coat was the best thing I ever did, no more fading whatsoever.
