yet another painting question - brands

[mrdjflores]

going to begin prepping for paint soon...
painting hull and cap...
plan is to spray the cap, roll the hull (maybe spray)...
boat is too big to flip over, and is always trailered, never in water overnight, and only fresh water.
what are your thoughts on paint brands?
Pettit EasyPoxy
Interlux Topsides
Automotive Base/Clear system

something that is fairly easy to touch up
(i've actualy used rattle cans on smaller boats -aluminum- and still looks good after 3 years)

just looking for some input, and i'm on a budget.
keeping in mind that painting the boat is on the WANT TO DO list, not the NEED TO DO list

thanks in advance

I used the easypoxy on mine. Went on real easy, looks great, just have to watch for runs!!
It is a bit pricey though, I hve seen it priced for $24 to $42 per quart!

Easypoxy. Not real cheap but a quart goes a LONG way. Great coverage and you could apply it with a push broom and it would look like your sprayed it. Can't say enough good about it. It WILL run though so you have to watch carefully for that.
