So I've almost got my boat (the interior at least) down to bare metal after it's almost 40 year life of multiple paint jobs, grime, etc. All of the seals and rivets look strong and I haven't noticed any issues with leaks but I was planning on laying down some of the spray sealant or bed liner around the seams and such.
I noticed that rustoleum had two products, the first was the standard spray in bedliner which I know a lot of people have used to a fair success, the second was this

Which I've never seen before a few months ago. It's got good reviews albeit being pricey have having problems laying down second coats (not on the boat, but from the can, apparently it gums up pretty bad once you've started using it) but all of the reviews (aside from people that couldn't figure out how to spray it) were positive.
Has anyone used this, if not, I plan to be the Guinea pig so I'll let you know how it turns out.
Lastly, would I prime first with the rustoleum self etching primer before laying this down or lay this down to get the best seal? I'm guessing I'd have to prime first but it says this works on aluminum so I don't know.
Thanks again!
