I did 3 coats as a minimum. Sands easy with 12 to 18 inch foam sand ing block DURABLOCK. Rolling allows better working the stuff into pin holes . Then sprayed epoxy primer filler, sanded to 350. Then another thin epoxy surface prep, hand sanded to 500. Then BASF single stage polyurethane low v olatility paint (still legal in Canada), two full coats. Easy to maintain a nd fix.

Also, John Lawton gave me a pa int to use that is UV protective, albeit very expensive paint, $500 + a gal lon and two qts hardener (and illegal in Calif). Hey Bill...how'ya doin? Re: spraying SmoothPrime...for the life of me, I can't imagine the high vis cosity SmoothPrime flowing thru a spray gun. I have VERY minimal experience spray painting, so my comfort level at tryin g to spray Smoothprime is very low. Have you thinned the stuff?...with what ? I'm very comfortable rolling it but that's just playing to my fears. Up til now, I haven't minded the extra sanding since it cuts so nicely...of cours e, I am planning to spray the EP-420 sealer/primer.
