paint quantity

[bigeasy1]

Gotta agree with most of the replies.Use a good two part urethane paint.In the long run the extra cost is well worth it, and as each year that passes with a good finish that looks as good as new, that extra cost will seem insignificant.

As for quantity of the paint required not sure if this helps but I used a bit less than three quarts (red)on the hull from the waterline up and about one quart of (white) on the topsides and interior.This was on my 23 Tsunami, using a spray gun.I used a two part catalyst cured urethane by Epifanes (similar to Imron).That was about 7 years ago and it still looks the same as the day it was done.
