What paints are there to use?
Where can a guy get them?
Are there any spray primes and paints, I could use?
Thanks,

search roll & tip . it is a process of using a fine roller and brush, works very. this is a r & t job, with rustoleum.

no clear coat. i don't use it. the deck was satin finish, as i don't want the glare from the deck. the hull is high gloss. i don't use clear coat, as it make it harder to touch up when it get scratched. as it is a ding is corrected in 5 minutes.
