FWIW I talked to the experts at Jamestown Distributors this spring, as the cabin top on my boat needed to be painted after 25 years in the Florida/Carribean sun. They said the 2 part will easily outlast the 1 part paints.
They recommended Epiphanes 2 part epoxy after using their house brand primer. I bought a gallon of the primer and had my house painter roll and tip it. Results were so good that I'm no rush to apply the Epiphanes. They said the new stuff is better than Perfection, especially for the DIY types.
