Marine paints

Dear sir
we have some small panels that are used in electronic equipment.
these electronic equipments are used in ships.
does anyone knows how many hours of salt spray these panels resist if marine paints applied on them?
regards

Salt spray testing is an accelerated corrosion test that has little to do with real life use. It is at best an indicator.
That said, painting is like plating, how well it performs is quite dependent on who applied it.
So, the only way to answer your question is to coat it and do salt spray testing.
