Default Re: so which paint

When I painted the interior of my boat, I found that all the holes and cracks I repaired showed through the paint requiring additional coats. If I were to do it again I would prime also.

Primer is cheaper than paint, and easier to sand, you have gone this far and done a beautiful job, take it from an A boat to an A+ boat.

I applied two coats of Signature over the weekend to my CC, fishbox and cooler. I was really surprised at how thin the paint was, almost the consistency of varnish. Capt. Chuck steered me in the right direction on application techniques and I think it will turn out nice when I apply the final coat and buff. Per Tom's direction I didn't prime either. One thing I noticed was that areas that had been faired didn't cover as quickly as the ones that were sanded gelcoat. The second coat almost made them disappear.
