I've touched up a few spots with their "roll on" version. It's easy to use, really hard when it dries but wow it's expensive.  I'm currently working on a 12' Starcraft and will be using Total Boat Wet Edge in gloss white. I wanted a gloss finish so I went with the wet edge. I gave them a call and their suggested process for an aluminum boat with gloss finish is: sand/scrape loose paint down to clean aluminum, Acid etch wash, 2 part aluminum barrier coat epoxy primer, then the Wet edge top coat.  I will be painting to just the water line and leave the bottom raw.</p></blockquote><p></p>
