[PSUBS-MAILIST] PAINT APPLICATION

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Rick,
I bought a spray gun capable of spraying a two pot epoxy, but needed a 
lot of thinner to get it to work. The gun was considered disposable.
A lot of yachts just get painted with a roller. A lot easier & cheaper. Just 
do the brackets & things with a brush & what you can with a roller.
It will be easier to repair bangs & scratches if you can just use a roller rather
than a spray gun.
It also depends on how well the sub is fared & prepared as a spray finish
will show up more imperfections.
Perhaps head down to the local marina & see what a rolled finish looks like
compared to a sprayed finish.
Alan

I was asking about Macropoxy as someone had mentioned that they had used that and were happy with it so the guy asked me what type of Macropoxy I wanted and proceeded to name off a lot of them.

He said that the best cosmetic result is to spray it on but that it takes a special commercial grade system to do it. There are a few spots on the sub that would be hard to get to with a spray gun so I was planning on just rolling and brushing it on which he said wouldn't look that good as you would be able to see the brush strokes as it is so thick. Would like to hear from all of you as to what you used and how you applied it, "spray versus
