So far I'm very pleased with the Signature Finish. Capt. Chuck went over with me how to go about applying it and gave me a few pointers that have worked out great. My only issue so far is not having enough paint for the whole job on my first order. I'm going to end up needing about 75% more than what Tom estimated. Hard for Tom to estimate how much I would need without seeing the boat though and I am probably not as efficient with the stuff as someone who's done it before.
For the non-skid on the hatch covers I used a 50/50 mix of the fine and course grit. I used the ratio that Tom recommended 8-2-4-2(grit) and it seems to be right on for what I am looking for. I like the tape that Tom included (blue 3/4"), but it did lift up in some spots and left a bit of glue that I had to rub out after the fact. Not a big deal and I'm not as concerned about a final pretty finish as I'm sure a lot of folks would be.
