Re: paint question?

I recommend marine paint applied wiith a roller and tipped off with a brush. The marine paint systems I have seen that are designed for DIY painting do not require clear coating. You can go to the link below to do some research on applying marine paints.

Nice boat..

Why do you want to paint it ? looks clean to me :) .. changing colors ?

If you do end up painting it.. we all know my personal recommendation.. AwlCraft 2000 .. or Imron.

You can Base Coat Clear coat like the autos..but Marine paint does not require clear ( thank god ).
