Default Re: Painting

I struggled with this too.As far as the outside, I would go with a 2 - part, and you could probably roll and tip those large flat surfaces with good results - I can't say from personal experience.The other option might be to do all the prep work and have a discount autobody place shoot it with a 2 - part.I've seen the Devoe paint and it looks good - Devthane, I believe it is.On my cockpit, I sprayed it with the Petit 1 part.If you look at all the contours in the cockpit/deck, it looks to me like rolling and tipping would be a disaster - or at the least very time consuming.I can say that I was pretty pleased with the petit, I put on 3 finish coats, and it set up pretty hard and was a piece of cake to spray.I heard horror stories about spraying 2 parts too, it's no B.S. - you need negative pressure respirator and its not something you want to do in the yard.
