Re: painting with automotive paint or spraying on paint
Why do you think a base coat clear coat is bad? You do know that the clear coat IS a 2 part Urethane clear don't you. So what would be the bad part to stay away from? I don't follow your logic... Anybody can spray many coats of clear and have as much or more protection then a single stage Urethane paint...
Well,.... Base coat/ clear coat can't be easily repaired, after the fact,...
With single stage, you can resand out a small spot, 'n re-shoot it....
With Boats, the price ya pay, in labor, 'n paint is Extremely high for Bc/ Cc's depth of view,...
With single stage, ya get a Beautiful finish with the 1st shot...
If ya like doin' the same job over, 'n over, 'n over, 'n over, 'n over,...
Go with base coat/ clear coat....
If ya want a Beautiful Durable finish, for Less money, 'n effort,...
Use a single stage, No clear coat needed....
We shot our dumptruck fleet with Bc/ Cc once, along time ago,...
It's 'bout 4 times the labor, compared to a single stage paint, with No benefit....
Put a scratch in it, ya gotta sand off all the clear to fix the base color, then build it back....
Put a scratch in a single stage, ya sand it out abit, 'n shoot it,.... Done....
Why waste the Money, 'n Effort, on the underside of a boat, that nobody will ever See,..??
All the sanding Required between all those coats of Clear is Alota labor, 'n the Protection does
Not increase with each coat, only the depth of view....
1 Scratch, 'n yer startin' over anyways....
I use Martin Seymour Prizim fleet paint from my local Napa, that chemically is 'bout the Same as the "Marine" paints advocated 'round here....
It shoots like a Dream, 'n leaves the finest shiniest finish anybody could ask for...
If I was shootin' a '32 coupe, Show car, I might use Bc/Cc,.... Otherwise, I go with a single stage....
