[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 492334, member: 27803"] Today was a good day to paint. I took the cover off the boat and then primer was solid. It just needed more time. Thank you DaleH. I had some other things to take care of so I got a later start than I wanted. I got the first coat of truck bed coating applied with the roller. Went to wher I started and started trimming with a couple of brushes which took a while. The can says coverage of 140’to 160’ square feet. I call bs. Im doing 63 square feet. And have less than 1/2 a gallon left. I applied it thick enough to just cover. There’s white dots where the primer didn’t get covered. It’s sure looking good though. I’m going to get a quart tomorrow. That along with what’s left should make a second coat which is all I need since I’m covering it anyway. So anyway just thought I’d share some good news. I’ll post a picture tomorrow. Thanks to everyone that replied to my post on here. When it comes to my boat build this is my go to place. Especially since this is my first tin boat. [/QUOTE]
