I have this 1971 Grumman Semi - V Hull, I did repair the inside and painted the sides. The problem came up with it almost sank like the Titanic! Well now I stripped the whole boat bottom and located all the holes and Oxidations cause by the previous owner never took time to fix. Well I had purchased this stuff call Lab Metal and used a putty knife to lay it on. You just wouldn't believe how good that came out! I then purchased goof it putty / paint, this came out like klear kote smooth as silk. So now I have to paint it this boat was stripped down to the bare metal / aluminum using this stripper item from a company on Amazon. What it looked like is a wheel with around 50 to 60 wire stems sticking out and have to use a drill to strip the paint, it really got down to the metal. Just need to wear goggles and gloves and a good work apron! So what I need to know what is the amount of paint to do the bottom of this boat 14' Length. Transom width is 52", the middle beam is 63" the transom height is 16.5", Middle Hgt. 18", Bow to bottom of keel is 24" on the bottom of the boat is 3 keels are 12" apart. Then the main keel from the top to the beginning of the other keels match up in length! So how many coats should I use? I don't have a spray gun so it need to be brushed on and roller?
