Hi Rod, I did mine using Petit Perfection (Now called Interlux Perfection) and after 6 coats on one side and 5 on the other it came out: Perfect. After 5 years, it's still perfect and the only maintenance it has received is the occasional wipe down using lake water while we're swimming.

A few pointers: - Doing it in the summer when the weather is warm and humid you have to get it done before 9:30 am or before the sun is high enough to make any difference on surface temperature - Experiment with the catalyst mix / test on a smooth test surface - My best painting technique was brushing it on with a super soft brush, start with horizontal stroke and "tip" downward to break-up the brush lines. All that done quickly to keep the wet edge and the tipping is one or 2 touches ONLY per spot. Just keep going, let it lay down on its own. (I have also tried roll and tip with different rollers / spraying is "Verboten" at my yard) - Make sure you sand to a very smooth finish as prep and between the coats https://www.wholesalemarine.com/interlux-perfection-high-gloss-marine-paint/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAuefvBRDXARIsAFEOQ9FoTqo-FnsenizBeHtOU2VeEiJmLkzHU_QBKDP6T-cfwehXui1HM8AaAjEpEALw_wcB Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA
