This is not necessarily a micro project, but I know there are a lot of seasoned veterans here when it comes to working on boats so I thought I'd post and ask.
I missed out on a bow launcher the other day, a beautiful piece that I'd like to try to recreate but not using teak. I know I saw some pics while internet surfing about painting 'glass to look like teak. Lighter, no maintenance, etc.
What I'm trying to recreate as close as possible is this piece, hate to post a link to another forum but I can't snag the photos off that listing: http://www.thehulltruth.com/fishing-miscellaneous-items/389819-refinished-like-new-teak-release-marine-rocket-launcher-new-post-mount.html
If I make this outta glass is there a way to paint that main section to look like teak? If anyone's done this before how does it come out, good or cheesy?
