out n about Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about Quintrex’s Paints. I was after some white touch up paint but I can’t find the same colour anywhere. Has anyone been in my position and found the same white paint that Quintrex use? Is there a paint code somewhere on the boat? My boat is: Year: 1998 Model: Breezeabout Colour: White Any help will be great. Thanks in advance, Out n About Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catchin Jack Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hi mate, When I needed touch up paint I just went to a panel beater and got them to match it up, they got it right. Otherwise call Quintrex and ask them for a colour code and then just get panelbeater to mix it up for you. You could just go to paint place to get it mixed but I prefer panel beaters because they usually use better quality paints. Cheers, Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkymalinky Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hi Out n About, If it's the same colour as their current models, it's called Telwater White. If you call Telwater marine on the Gold Coast they should be able to point you in the right direction. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrxhoon1 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Panelbeater or auto paint shop is your best bet , they will mix and match 1/4 lt for you for about $20 or so . Even if you got the original paint you my find out it has faded and the colour is not the same . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linc Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hi All, Bringing back an old topic here, looking to touch up a few scratches and dings on my quintrex, telwater white is the right paint so I'm in touch with a dealer to try and get hold of some, I just wanted to check with anyone that has had experience touching up using this paint. I've heard it's quite thick, is it best to thin it out with turps? Is any particular brush better than others? Thanks, Linc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullatt Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Mate,I'd be getting the paint matched, otherwise you may find that if you buy the exact colour from Telwater or a quinine dealer, it may not match because of fading over the years!

Fab1 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Always buff and polish your boat,car etc before you take it to a spraypainter to match the colour which will remove all the years of oxidization prior to any repainting of any kind to get a true colour read.

Linc Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 my boat is only 18 mths old. took a beating against a concrete jetty when tied up a while ago so I'm sure the paint hasn't faded much. but panel beater might be a good option. closer than nearest quinny dealer too Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
