Pettit Easypoxy 1part Paint....

My buddy painted his 18' Aluminum boat with it,and I painted a trailer that I used to have with it.
It's a nice one part paint that is easy to apply,and is fairly durable with a nice shine.
Forget using it below the waterline.He had his boat in the water for just a week and it started to blister.It is not recommended for below the water line use.

I wouldn't use it to paint a complete hull.Don't get me wrong,it's a good paint,but there are just too many true two part urethanes on the market that can be applied by brush or roll and tip,with excellent results, and will be a far superior finish.

My friends boat is only used in fresh water,and is always stored on the trailer and in a garage,so the finish has held up well,but if it you keep a boat in the water,or stored outside,especially in a climate like the south,it just would'nt hold up all that well.

I've painted a few boats,both alum.and glass and have always used two part urethanes.They last for a long long time,are extremely durable,have a superior shine,and although they also are not recommended for below the water line use,they will hold up if the boat is in the water for a week or two.
The cost is going to be more,but would you rather have to paint it every couple years,when the two parts will last ten time longer?

I painted my 23 Tsunami with a two part urethane by Epifanes.It is an aliphatic urethane more similar to Imron.It can be applied by the roll and tip method with excellent results.
Epifanes is better known for their varnish,but their two part paint is an awesome extremely durable finish with a fantastic shine.
It is also reasonably priced,around 35.00 per quart.
