For top side, I used two quarts of just paint. The Softsand particles eats up the paint. I did one coat paint, let dry, scuffed, and taped off perimeter. Scuffed with red scotch bright. Rolled paint and sprinkled Medium grit softsand as thick as I could over sections. Let dry and reclaimed with a brush and dust pan for re-use. I recommend rolling the cover coat while the tape is still in place. That will keep any left over particles from attaching on the slick section. I learned the hard way. The paint covered in two coats, but I did three for good measure. I know it would be blasphemy, but ill post a few pics of the Mako for you to see.

Thanks for the reply. Your boat looks great. I ordered a gallon of the 442 primer so I'm hoping that will give me a good idea how much I need per coat. How bad was the smell? Will I stink out the neighbors if I paint in the driveway? How long did the paint smell last?
