Default Re: Painting?

I am painting mine with an International line of urethane. It is VERY good paint that I am getting from a local marine supplier here in town. it would basically compare to the urethane a boat supplier would have, but cheaper because I am buyin it by the gallon rather than quarts(thats how boaters world and such sell it around here). Like I said b4 I just got done sprayin my buddies and it looks like a new car!!! I am especially excited to do mine because he done the prep work on his and his finishing skills leave alot to be desired, but the paint hid his work well. ;D
Dries hard as a rock too and the urethane has alot of UV inhibitors in it. to prevent fading.I spray with a gravity feed type auto body spraygun, as I have painted some cars in the past and it works great for boats as well.
The paint I am using is about 50.00/gallon. Not too bad and it goes a long way because I thin it WAY down as I like to spray quite a few light coats on it because it flows out better AND slicker. I usually spray about three coats, let dry for a week, wet sand with 400 or 600grit and spray again.
