Was this the paint you used? I was re-reading your project and saw you didnt use the marine rusto. But was really impressed by your high speed scratch/durability test. Think Im going to give it a try on my Holiday.

Nope. That's what he used. My Lowes has the marine stuff if you want to get all hard-core

Re: Hey Kev!

The Menards by me has the Marine also, and really cheap, think it was a tad under $20, not much selection for colors though. May get hardcore and use the Marine in white for the main color and spray the top deck and stripes on the side.

Re: Hey Kev!

Yeah as long as I've been working on the LL we coulda had a couple of seasons

So far in the last 6 days or so I've traveled at least 300 miles while trailering, pulled two boat motors, and now at 100 plus temps, the AC took a dump in the shop so we're doing most of the work wearing sunblock!
