capt terry - the paint is Nason industrial enamel., same as I used on the sides. The gun is a harbor fright HVLP cheapy gun I got for $9.95
FWIW - I have painted dozens of classic muscle cars & trucks, and several boats and have found that I can pretty much shoot any gun as long as it has been properly cleaned etc. especially with solid colors. Metallics are a little more tricky
This Angler was one of my last boat projects before this one
