signature finish

[JohnB]

I believe that someone over on the ClassicMako site did Sig. Finish in a dark blue color and they were not happy with the results - not sure how they applied the paint or what happened but I'm sure a dark blue will show more imperfections than other colors..

There are not many people that use Signiture, Awlgrip, or Gelcoat that are happy when putting a dark color, like blue over white. All the chips/etc show through. I don't think it is a function of the type of paint, as it is dark over light. If you prep it real good, and put 2 coats on, it probably wears/shows better over time.

Thanks for the suggestions on Signature paint, Captain Chuck. I just tested it on a motor box and was impressed enought to order it for the hull. Tom with Signature is as nice as he can be, but my head was spinning after listening to his "how to do it" instructions. I'll probably start a new thread for the rehab of my recently acquired '77 23' Sceptre. I got so upside down on my "no-holds-barred rehab" '74 Tsunami that I just had to have a go at another to try to even things out!

Once you get his instructions and read them a couple of times it seems easy. I painted a complete Scepter with his paint, everything, also painted about half a CC and would easily do it again. If you have any questions give me a PM. I'm also from NC and am in the area frequently.
