Re: Perfection. How many coats?
typo i'm assuming, that would be a steal!
don't forget all the other stuff, thinning agents, fiberglass wash, etc...i've never been able to just order the paint when using interlux....no complaints with the results though
i've put a first coat on some aluminum i'm painting...wakeboard tower/bimini. takes alot more prep than fiberglass but the results are very encouraging after just the first coat.
you'll def want at least 2 coats to really get the most out of the paint.
Oops, I meant $60/quart. Yea that WOULD be a steal.
I'm going to buy 2 quarts. I will mix 1/2 quart for my 1st coat and see how far it goes. I'll paint the sides first, then the transom, then the bottom. If 1/2 quart won't give me a full coat, at least I'll have the visible parts coated.
According to the documentation, the paint goes further than the primer. I don't have the exact square ft. numbers in front of me but it was something like 450 and 500 and something. When I mix a quart of primer, I still have some left. Today, I will do another primer coat and measure how much I have left over.
I already have some 2333N thinner from when I bought the primer. I'm not sure if I will need to use it in the paint since the temps have cooled.
So it's 3rd coat of primer tonight. Final sanding Thursday and Friday night. Then up before daylight on Sat. and drive to Atlanta to get the paint. I should be back home by 10AM to start painting. One coat Sat. One Coat Sun.
That's the plan anyway.
If that's not enough paint I will have to take time off work to get more paint and do more coats. Waiting till the next weekend will put me past the max overcoat time per their docs.
