[QUOTE="dyeguy1212, post: 91765, member: 1460"] The really nice thing about rustoleum is I can spray it on with a good spray gun, and if need be, and I can buy a spray bomb of the exact same color and fill in any large chips or scratches.. First coat went on good! Used just under a half quart, and had to tilt it every which way to finish the last foot lol. This stuff comes really thin, I couldnt believe I could thin it 5 to 1. But I did and it turned out pretty darn nice. Second coat will be the true test though. I was stupid and dealt with the compressor the entire time. The pressure would die off after a few seconds, and I'd have to stop and let it charge up again. I'm only drawing 60 psi out of a massive compressor, but I didn't figure out the line was kinked at the outlet until I was finished. Oh well. Attached are some pictures of the first coat. Tomorrow around noon I'll throw on the second, and let it bake for a few days while I do the interior work. I have one templete done for the middle deck, so I'll cut that out tonight and water seal it. After that, I'll have to wait until the paint is dry enough to put the boat back on the trailer to get the remainder of the boat done. Supposedly I have to wait a WEEK to put my boat in the water so the topside paint will dry completely, which seems a little overkill to me. But all in all I should be on the water next weekend for sure. [/QUOTE]
