Its what the navy uses to coat all machinary and fuel pump rooms in the ships bilge's. Tough as hell and keeps the bilges from rusting, cause most ships always have standing water in the bilges, well every ship I have been on anyway.

The word “bilge” is a nautical term which is used to refer to a several concepts. It dates from 1513, when “bilge” was first used to refer to the lowest compartment inside the hull of a ship, where the two sides meet at the bottom. However, the term is also used to discuss the matter which collects in the bilge: water drains from the decks of the ship into the bilge, dragging detritus from topside down below. The water that collects in the bilge is usually brackish and also has a foul odor, so bilge has also come to be a term which refers to anything foul or unpleasant. A bilge pump is a device which is used to remove water from the bilge.
The bilge is a collection point for water which overflows on the decks of the ship, along with water which enters through small leaks along the hull before they have been noticed and repaired. Especially in storms, the decks of the ship cannot drain to the sea quickly enough for the decks to be safe to walk on and so the excess water is routed into the bottom of the ship to be handled by a bilge pump, or several, in the case of a large boat. Because the water drains from the decks, which are not always completely clean, the bilge also collects detritus like urine and feces from seabirds and unscrupulous sailors, tar, food material, and other dirt that has accumulated on deck. The contents of the bilge can get quite acidic and it is usually painted with a protective seal to prevent the bilge water from eating through to the sea. The bilge pump must also be carefully monitored to ensure that it is not clogged or damaged by the bilge water.

 

sounds like great stuff GO WITH IT!

 

Now that we have had our nautical/navy/gay lesson for the day.......next thread

Heck ya! Shoot that car with the bilge, but don't part near me man!

 

Im not shooting with bilge...woulndt want to ride in it either, might make parking some places easier??? The terracota primer is what they coat the deck with to keep the "bilge water" from eating throu the deck.

 

the first thing that came to mind was Bilge Pump. i wasnt too far off.

 

Do it..than throwup a picture of what it looks like
(pun intended)

 

cover your key board with it!

 

That stuff probably must be applied really thick to work right.
Maybe for the frame and as an undercoat, like fire hydrant paint.

 

love the demeanor here guys

 

...about 4 or 5 mil if I remember right but i know you can thin it out with MIBK to shoot it with HVLP. Doesnt have to be that thick for a exterior coating thou??

 

Post a color chart for those of us uneducated in the type of paint. does it come in PRETTY colors?

Frank

 

28 years in the Navy and I NEVER saw a bilge that looked worth a shit...can't imagine why you'd want to paint it that color unless you're planning on taking a few gallons home with you from the ship.

 

Dont have to take it from the boat can buy it commercially. Proable use it as a base primer to negate oxidation.

 

terracotta red
