Pennant Primer without topcoat for compartments

[mineratt]

I know that the Pennant Primer makes for a good barrier coat for below the waterline, and for all exterior surfaces I will (and have) be top coating. But for enclosed compartments like the anchor locker up front, or the rear transom compartments, is top coating really necessary?

I would say no as it doesn't jave any wear resistance. My suggestion would be a bilge paint which you will need a primer under such as Petit Bilge Paint that is sold in the store or some have used straight thickened, so it doesn't run down the walls epoxy tinted white. Tom

Primers are not as hard as say acrylic enamel.

Some bilge paints allow no primer and u end up two coating.

Don't use expensive two part poly, but do use hard paints that wear well.
