Painting a hull

[65Bowrider]

The tips that Capt. Chuck mentioned worked for me the best ... using one roller to apply to an area spreading out the paint to a thin coating. I rolled in many directions to get good coverage with the least amount of paint ... then IMMEDIATELY follow with a dry roller, rolling once over each area in the vertical direction. The dry roller takes off the excess paint and evens out the layer of paint.
The result was a very minimal orange peel which was easily buffed out to a high shine using the 3M product Chuck mentioned.
Also helpful is to have two people, one applying the paint while the other does the dry roller. Important to keep your 'wet line' of paint going until you're done.
IMPORTANT ... DON'T use a one-part paint. We used Interlux Brightside (one part), and it's not holding up at all. Go with one of the recommended two part paints.
Hope this helps ... and good luck.
