[QUOTE="dyeguy1212, post: 91895, member: 1460"] Alright the final coat is done! I saved a very small amount of paint in the bottom of the quart so I can fill in any spots that were covered by tape that shouldnt have been. I have a feeling when I come into some money I'll buy an entirely new quart to allow me to touch it up next spring. It turned out great and looks pretty good! :mrgreen: The only problem with the high gloss is that it shows dents and waves in the aluminum much more than a flat color would have. Regardless, I'm pretty happy with the turn out. I put it on extra thick where it will be beached, make contact with bunks, and be strapped down (handles and surrounding area). I barely had to sand down any spots before recoating, so I REALLY recommend spraying it on, for those of you about to. As you'll see in one of the pics, the tape covered a few spots that shouldnt have been, so I'm going to pick up a fine tipped artsy fartsy brush to fill in the minute spots of primer. I'll let it bake the rest of the day in the 80 degree sun, while I go to Lowes and pick up the carpet and some odds and ends I need to get the interior done in the next few days. I'll post up when I get some more done! [/QUOTE]
