 Re: Duralux FYI
You sure it's the "aluminum boat paint"? The no primer needed stuff? If so, that is a great price. That is closer to the stuff that needs a primer.

 Re: Duralux FYI
You say the paint with the primer. Does that mean it needs the primer or not? The aluminum boat paint doesn't have primer in it, it just doesn't need it.

 Re: Duralux FYI
The aluminum boat green is like $80-$90 everywhere else, ain't it? Damn if this is the same stuff, that place aint gonna be able to keep it in stock.

 Re: Duralux FYI
Yes, I just paid like 175 bucks for two gallons. If that is the right stuff, that is one helluva deal!!!! The price is right in line for a decent mark up on the duralux that needs a primer.

 Re: Duralux FYI
We used to sell it at a place I worked and it was way cheaper than what y'all are paying but that was 20+ years ago. I'll call a guy I know tomorrow an see what he's selling it for.

 Re: Duralux FYI
Duralux makes several different paints. (as most companies do)
The M736 that is the "Aluminum Boat Paint Green" is the one where you do not have to use a primer. It is $79 a gallon and I would be very surprised if you found it much cheaper than that. It only comes in the one color.
They ALSO make a Duralux "Camouflage Paint" which is different and REQUIRES a primer base. It is $39 a gallon (but you can get on sale right now for $27). It comes in 3 different color options.
The M736 is the one that some of the boat builders use.
If you buy the cheaper one, you need to prime it (which is $17 a quart): Aluminum: Pretreat with suitable wash primer. Apply one coat of Duralux Zinc Chromate M739, Top with two full coats of Duralux Camo Paint.

 Re: Duralux FYI
No sorry but thats what I checked on Aluminum boat green and 39 is the price. Asked Chris and that was the paint with the primer included. He is a commercial marine and oil field supply shop. Like I said I know we used to sell it cheaper. Give them a call 504-682-3358 ask for Chris or James.
My pecker is still in good order.

 Re: Duralux FYI
I remeber buying M736 b4 katrina at that price ($40). After that it was hard to find and more expensive when I did find it.
