[QUOTE="Ictalurus, post: 221211, member: 2983"] On two of the boats, I picked up some Valspar exterior oil based paint from Lowe's. On my current build, I'm using an oil based paint from Sherwin Williams. I explained to the salesman at SW what I was doing and he hooked me up with an industrial enamel/epoxy that has a marine application, it was only $6 more a gallon and sounded good, although so far it looks the same as the other paint. I have not used a clear coat, I manage to scrape a little paint off here and there on trees, docks, etc.. and just use the left over paint to touch up a few spots over the winter. I can take a picture of the paint can tonight if you would like to see it. [/QUOTE]
