[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 451252, member: 15636"] [i]Unless[/i] that epoxy is specifically rated against UV exposure - and I doubt it is -[b] epoxy MUST be overcoated by a paint to protect it. [/b]Another point, I once used expen$ive and allegedly UV-proof epoxy ... and I had to strip and refinish the boat not 3-years later! I would sand/prep, wipe down bare areas w/ vinegar on a scrubby (or copper scrubbie even better!), then dry and prime w/ zinc chromate, then just topcoat w/ paint of choice. [/QUOTE]
