I want to paint my old 11' Boston Whaler<br /><br />The whole hull needs to be painted, not just the sides. I have sanded off all the bottom paint, and I want the hull the same color, with no bottom paint.<br /><br />I originally planing on spraying it with a good gun and compressor. Then today I saw "shipshape TV" and they where painting a boat using the "roll and tip" method. This method of painting is very appealing to me.<br /><br />They had some kind of a paint, (I forget the brand) that was meant to be applied that way. It had to be reduced and cured before applying. One guy rolled it on while another followed and went over it with a brush.<br /><br />This looked much easier then spraying it, and if I use some kind of a product that is made for this, I assume I'll get a more durable finish.<br /><br />I professionally paint cars one or two cars a week, but never a boat.<br /><br />Has anyone ever done this before?<br />How's the final result look? Can you tell it was put on with a roller? How professional does it look? How will it hold on on the keel, being witched on the trailer?<br />Any suggestions as to what product to use, where to I get it and what will it will cost?<br /><br />Thanks in advance, I know Im asking a lot of questions and appreciate any advice you can give.
