I Don't think you have to sand after the prime coat, But................You will be amazed at the difference in finish if you do. All that surface texture kind of adds up and gives you that "orange peel" finish. Wet sand with some 220-300 grit.
Are you painting the hull and topside?

Yeah, thinking of doing the hull and topside even though I can get a bit of a shine back in the hull though. Just not as nice as I want it to be.

Hoping the price of te paint isnt like Awlgrip either.
Still cant believe the shine on your V. The top side looks great !!. No runs ?
Wanna get the paint on before its to cold out.

That's pretty much it! ;D I've got a few areas that are not perfect, but it turned out pretty nice.

Hammer, don't forget, you also need to buy the converter for the paint, AKA part B

Did you use it on the floor also? I need to fix a place in my floor and what's holding me up is I can't pull the trigger to cut the floor because I want to be able to cover the repair area. Doesn't have to cover the repaired area in the floor but I want it to not raise a flag as soon as you loo in the boat.

Not sure I follow what your saying here.

But yes I did use it on the deck. I used the same paint (rolled it) with Interlux Intergrip additive on the non-skid areas(bow, gunwhales and cockpit deck). It has held up O.K. I would do it the same way over again.

Is the converter the hardner or is the converter the stuff so you can spray ??? ???
WOW, super great Pics. ;D Hoping to cut a section of the deck out today and repair. Was suposed to call the DOver store today and see if they had it in stock, but was held up on F.O.P. contract talks all day. :-/
Been shopping around on E-Bay for a spray gun. What Spray gun did you use or what spray tip. ???

If you have a harbor fright store near you they have some good prices on spray guns
