:: Dave, is there any special Rust Oleum formulation you

:: I assume it is a gloss finish.
:: Did you spray it/
:: What words of wisdom might you have for application such
:: as thinning, reducers etc.

:: ::
:: :: :: My boat 3933 need a paint job.
:: ::
:: :: :: I have read that some folks use RUST OLEUM
:: ::
:: :: :: I am not a competitor and the boat is dry sailed.
:: ::
:: :: :: I plan on a through washing with TSP, filling any holes
:: :: :: with Bondo, thoroughly sanding with 325 sandpaper.
:: ::
:: :: :: Is primer needed?
:: ::
:: :: :: Any suggestions on paint, preparation and application
:: :: :: would be appreciated.

:: :: The idiot that uses Rust Oleum on his fiberglass boats
:: :: when they need refinishing is me.
::
:: :: I've won four Windmill National Championships with boats
:: :: painted thusly. No special prep needed. Sands out to a
:: :: REALLY high polish with the usual work and takes
:: :: whatever polish (not wax) you choose. I like it because
:: :: it is relatively cheap, readily available and can be
:: :: touched up when dinged.
