Thanks for the comments...we just got the 2nd coat of durabak on the topside tonight...we are pretty much Durabak jr experts now if anyone has any questions on that product and how to apply it correct...I could write a whole blog but don't have the desire at this point. But we do have some good info, suggestions, short cuts...etc. PM or post here if you like.

We do recommend it...looks great. We went a bit over the top by doing the texture coat on the inside of the walls. I wouldn't suggest that for most but the damn company ran out of smooth white and said it would be 6-8 weeks before they restock it (comes from South Africa) and they are the only source for this product. Found that out half way thru the paint when we needed to reorder.

Photos attached show the 2nd coat applied. We need to apply a 3rd coat to a few areas that were repairs with dark fills...we are mixing our smooth and textured we have left to get a more averaged application.

At this point we have todo the rub rail, wood (all hatches and such are going to be done), wiring, center console and t-top go back in, bottom coat and new graphics along with canvas work!

EDIT: And as always see my signature for links to the entire photo gallery!
