Cheap paint!

Post by superman3385 »

This has nothing to do with boats, but I wanted to give my fellow Trojan owners the heads up. Sears is closing out their paint departments and everything is super cheap. I picked up a bunch of flat black anti-slip spray paint for a buck a can which I am going to see how well it will work on the places where people step when boarding the boat. The one I was in today everything was 75% off all paint and supplies. Just in case anyone needs paint. (I assume it is nationwide as it seems to be all of the stores in Illinois.)

Thanks for the heads up - got some winter time honey-dos already planned that require paint.
