[QUOTE="luvdlake, post: 131281, member: 2736"] Hey Neighbor "Stew"... Well I applied the 2nd gallon and another two coats of the steelflex today. I started with the bondo applicator, but figured out real quick that I wasn't going to have enough paint to do the entire boat with just one coat. So I went on and used the roller. Nussy I used a 3" roller with 3/8" nap that was the shortest nap I could find, Thought about a foam roller but Wally World only had one on the shelf so I ended up buying the regular rollers, after I was finished rolling the 2nd coat on I did try to do what is called a Knock Down, This is what they due with some texturing of sheet rock, they apply the mud then once it starts to set up somewhat they come back with a trowl and knock down all the high spots, Except I used the bondo applicator, I did not like the looks of it at all so quickley I went back over it with the roller. Oh well so I guess I will just live with the textured look, who knows I might just grow to like it. Well anyways I am going to let this stuff harden up and then flip the boat upright and start on the transom and flooring. untill then yall be good. I will post some pics once the paint has cured.
