This paint looks great! I applied the paint with a Devilbiss 1.3 gravity gun. I also sandblasted my old boat as it had 50 year old factory paint on it My surface was like 100 grit sandpaper before painting and the first coat dried quickly but looked blotchy.I was a little apprehensive at this point but the second coat looked much better and I had enough paint to finish the top half of the boat a third time. It dries very quickly and can be washed with soap and water. I applied each coat about 1.5 hours after each one and did not sand before applying the last coat as directed in the instructions. I did also diluted the last layer with water as recommended by the glass.It also says you can etch the aluminum with denatured alcohol but mine was just water/sandblasting so I skipped that. Also, I only pressure washed the night before and put the boat in my heated garage overnight at around 60 degrees. The can says to color around the 70 for best results. I also think you should let it dry for a week before using the boat in the water. The results were so great I ordered the original Lone Star decal set off e-bay for $6 and the boat looks brand new. I just painted a 14ft boat outside and used all the 2 quarts I bought. If it takes a long time, then the money was not spent in vain. I spent a total of $200 on the entire job, including $100 on the sandblasting and the rest on tape, paint, and plastic to build a makeshift spray booth.
