Can anyone help with some advice? My boat was painted inside (cockpit, cabin, floors, everything) by the ex-owner with an oil based gloss paint (the kind you would paint a door in your house with). He did not put on any primer so of course it is all peeling off, it looks terrible and is a nightmare to keep clean. The boatyard has quoted 1,800 EUR to sandblast it off and put on new gelcoat. The boat is just a little weekend runaround so that is not an option. Sanding it all off would take me all summer. Is there some way I could just roughly sand the worse of the peeling bits off, then paint something else over it that would stay in place? Would be very grateful for any advice. Thank you!
