### Fuller Peinture
Island: **Tahiti**

Fuller Peinture in the Taiovare Valley, in Avenue Pierre Loti has a alot of paint, including one- and two
component polyurethane. The prices seemed lo, at least for the one-component we bought (about
2200xpf for one litre)

5-19 S/V Nehenehe
They have lots of paint but I would say Buyer Beware. We had a bad experience with them. I would rate
them a 2 out of 10.

speaks very good English. They can mix any colour.
Two blocks from Ace hardware. Walk up the oneway diagonal street across from Ace past the Yamaha
building on the corner and the next block on the left
Assuming you are "roll and tip'ing" or foam brushing then avoid the fast hardener, best to use slow or
normal also Be sure to get normal thinner not fast. They also have the very best price on zinc based
primer by far. For foam brushes go to Ace but small mixing pots go to Sin Tung Hing Marine. Sin Tung
Hing and Ace both carry respirators with organic filters.
In the heat here any masking tape except 3m will leave a horrible messy glue residue Sin Tung Hing
carry an assortment as does Nautisport and Ocean 2000.

Steve just discovered a closet in the mega yacht agent office at Taina and they sell all Epifanes products.

Ace Hardware
They are now carrying a French brand in a square can. We used this a number of times. Went on really
nicely, slow drying so it spread easly thinned with mineral spirits . BUT any place we varnished that had
high traffic hands touching it or arms resting on it was terrible. It became all gummy and took a big
effort to remove it with a razor blade as we could not sand it off. With that said we will not use it again.
