The Setting
While canals and waterways are home to many stunning narrowboats, a barge’s steel hull can begin to rust if they are not regularly maintained by owners.
Re-painting above and below the waterline is a necessity to prevent corrosion if the shell is to last as long as possible.
Typically, narrowboats are painted with 3 additional coats on top of a “blacking” layer (often a bitumen or coal-tar based paint); the Primer, the Undercoat and the Topcoat.
