Once upon a time, painting wooden boats was an easy task as all that was needed was a dry day, some paint brushes, turps, some pink primer, a roll of masking tape and a gallon of shiny enamel paint. However today, the story is something different where on entering the local store, you will not only be faced with thousands of new produces that is better for your boat, but also face the risk of leaving the shop with an empty pocket.

Looking at all these costs, it is natural for one to wonder why it is necessary to paint the boat. Of course, the main reason is because boats look better when they shine and gleam a lot. And the other reason for painting wooden boats is to provide it with protection from the environment. It is basically the biological attacks of spores, temperature, fungi and high humidity, attacks from marine borers and crustaceans that rots wood, and thus makes it necessary for you to paint your wooden boats to give it the protection it seeks.
