Signature Paints

[Tashmoo2]

I bought Signature paint from Tom but have not applied it yet. I am still debating if a high build primer is required over all the fairing compound and what type of primer is compatible.

it seems like you would need a lot of paint to fill in a tiny holes.

The paint is quite thin if mixed per his standard 8-2-4 formula for brush/roll & tip application, so it takes 3 coats for good coverage. It flows into small cracks very well but if you're worried about pin holes, a high build primer might make sense if it's cheaper than the paint, which I suspect it is.

I applied it over three coats of thick Interprotect epoxy barrier coat on the bottom which I had sanded down pretty good between coats because I had lots of pin holes in the gel coat from soda blasting. The barrier coat filled those pretty well and made a good guide coat because I had to do lots of filling/faring between coats to get the bottom smooth. The soda blasting left a very uneven surface, but it looked good after last coat of paint!
