<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Don't Use Latex
Boats are watercraft and any vehicle that is out and about on the water need several coats of tried-and-true alkyd-based paint to protect from the elements--even more so if you are located on a body of saltwater.
On the Other: New and Improved Latex Paints
Boat builders are getting the message: acrylic latex on boats is competitive with the traditional oil-based marine paints. Except for a metal-hulled boat designed for saltwater use, try the new acrylic latex.
Bottom Line
Over the years the paint industry has developed a much improved acrylic latex paint that can be used anywhere on the boat except the hull. This is especially true for boats that are located on a body of freshwater.
