Re: One thing leads to another
So my coaming pads are coming apart and I ordered new vinyl for them from Sailrite. While I was looking for the right vinyl the wife finds some fabric for the salon valences. Apparently she is not happy with the 1985 floral pattern which matched the stained ceilings perfectly. I took the valences down and stared at the stained ceilings from where the previous owner left the dock water on and the windshield washer line busted. I had previously planned to replace the vinyl at some point but with us staying on the boat temporarily I thought I would try painting it instead of a major project.
Bought the SEM marine vinyl prep and paint in Ranger Off White. It turned out to be a perfect match. 4 cans and paint high later we are very pleased with the results. The paint was still a little wet in the pics and looks even better now. Im amazed at how smooth the surface feels, just like vinyl. You can't tell the difference between the panels in the galley we didn't paint vs. the salon.

Re: One thing leads to another
I took my valences down, someone had put awful leopard print fabric on them. I found just like new matching mahogany underneath. It was a nice surprise. I oiled the wood with teak oil and put it all back up. It might be worth looking behind the floral print material. That paint job is an amazing transformation.

Re: One thing leads to another
Walt thanks for the tip. I will let the wife decide but that sure would be easier. The paint blends almost to perfection now that it has dried overnight and the smell has gone.
