Do a search on tail gunner, he posted a detailed link I gave him on this method. I can't find it right now or I would give it to you.

There ya go, the results are outstanding, you can go out and look @ any new boat you can find and you can do the same with this self leveling paint.

However i will tell you this, it's not how well you can paint nor how well the paint work's, Its all about the prep work and that's good old sanding the surface glass smooth, filling in all the imperfection's that is what you want to get informed on, ..............:devil:

Here's a pic of only two layer's of bright side's

Here's a pic of only one layer of bright side's (it will take 3=4 coat's

The paint was so much to my liking i was a little taken back............and then i saw all the little imperfection's that i had missed and then this happened

And of thing's to come..........8) Thats a new to me boat.

Good luck it's a little work , but it is intensely satisfying
