Painting a hull

[jorgeinmiami]

When I spoke to Tom he also mentined that you did not need to prime the hull first. But in reading your post I will more then likely prime 1st.
What primer would you think would work best with Signature?
And I forgot if he said you could spray it.
In reading the pior post he mentioned that it was a pian to do around the diferent edges inside.

Boy am I getting anxious to get the boat finished preped and ready to paint, but I don't want to make a mistake and have to do it 2x because of the wrong paint or that I can't apply it correctly

I think any good 2-part primer would be fine. I'm sure you can spray it, they send all the directions with the paint, it's probably on the web site as well? I've used interlux's 2-part primer which was white, I remember seeing a lot of the awlgrip 545 primer as gray? Maybe something to consider depending on the colors your doing.
On another note I had a 10 X 20 shelter-logic enclosure thing, that I think was around 200 bucks with the sides that I bought at pep-boys which was a great shed for painting. my 18 fit perfectly-a 20 with no motor should as well.
That's good info on the water test, I always wondered if it really would hold up as claimed. I hope to paint my hull someday.
