They have online tutorials for application. You would never know it was rolled and tipped. Good luck.

It seems to be an equivalent to Awlgrip in shine and (at least on their experience using it) durability, at about half the cost of Awlgrip. They also said it is a bit easier to apply. It still cost me about $125 a foot to get the boat painted. I rolled and tipped a Tanzer about 12 years ago using Rustoleum marine enamel. Practical Sailor did paint test/comparison, and recommended Valspar industrial enamel over Brightside as the best one part paint. I seem to recall that, besides being less expensive, you can tint the Valspar to achieve a custom color. Rustoleum was the Practical Sailor best buy. $11 a quart vs. $40+, and just as shiny. The Tanzer still looks good, except for some scratches. It was the first boat I ever rolled and tipped, and that was pretty easy on a small hull. Much easier than spraying.

Don’t pay a pro big $$$ to spray on crappy paint. There are cheaper marine paints around. Isn’t AlexSeal a lower price boat paint? Rustoleum makes lower cost boat paint as well. * I think some work boats actually do get painted with exterior house paint, they know the boats will get beat on and thus not worth a yacht level finish. My Imron paint was done in 1987 and looks decent where the boat hasn’t got scratched up (hit and run in Annapolis) Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I www.dellabarba.com <http://www.dellabarba.com>
