Stix primer

[Paulg25]

Anyone used it on a grp boat? Any comments?
Considering it as it can be applied in low temperatures.
Very old boat and has been painted in the past.

Can't comment specifically on the above - although we do have a 'no domestic paints/coatings' policy on our boat (for a host of reasons...).

But why not use this? SML Marine Paints - Jotun Vinyguard
Less than half the price (£40 for 5L instead of £80 for <4L); specified for below-the-waterline use; apply down to 5 degrees C, and tried/tested by many on here and elsewhere.

Where do you want to use it on the boat? It is intended for difficult and possibly stained surfaces such as walls and hard materials like laminates. Difficult to see what it would be suitable for on boat except for laminate surfaces say in a galley or as I am using a similar product for fake teak laminate panel before painting white.

Exterior. Above the water line. Pretty appalling old paint work.

Can't see the need for that sort of primer. Assuming it is on GRP then rub it down, and if it is then sound then undercoat, fill and fair followed by a single pack topcoat. If wood then consider taking it back to bare wood , use metallic pink primer, undercoat and topcoat. Plenty of useful information on how to go about painting from the manufacturers. Material costs are relatively low - success is mainly down to preparation
