    just bought and repainted my 12 foot fiberglass boat.

    I Sanded with 80 grit sandpaper then did 2 Interlux Prime-kotes and finally 2 coats of Interlux Perfection Paint (snow white.)

    What do you guys think?

    Only problem with glossy new paint is that it will show any and all little bumps and dips that were hidden by the dull grunge and big obvious scrapes before :D

    Looks like you are on your way.

    Have fun with it.

    Nice job and snow white too. Have you noticed how easy perfection is to clean? Just be aware that perfection is slippery without a nonskid. You might consider another coat on places that you intend to walk on. Interlux nonskid would be perfect in those spots.

    They'll be oogling at the launch!
