thanks, I used Pettit EasyPoxy. Gloss white-3175. On top of Pettit undercoater. That undercoater is badass. after I sanded that with 220 the hull felt smooth as a silk. All I did was roll on that first coat with a small foam roller made for smooth finish. I am very impressed with the way it went on. I didnt tip it at all. although if I had some help that would of a good thing to do. I kept falling back picking up some sags and roller marks. I did the Pettit protect kit this afternoon on all the running gear and underwater metals. It looks awesome as well. It has been posted to the blog if you want to check it. I will be sanding the first coat tomarrow and painting on the 2nd and final coat on wed. I cant wait.....She is almost done. All I have to paint after that is the 3 blue strips. 1 on the flybridge and the 2 at the water line...
