Okay, I've reached that point where I must paint the kids OPTI and I've read over a bunch of the old threads. In years past I've used Interlux 2 part over glass/epoxy and it held up well. Went on great-no problemo. I've heard some horror stories and my gut instinct is telling me that any problems most likely have to do w/ poor surface prep. IE not sanding/amine blush or other contaminant present.
So, before I dip brush into the primer, any words of wisdom? Oh, and to make things interesting, after I prime and finish coat w/ bright white, the kids want to "splatter paint" the boat. I figure for the little bit of wear the boat is actually going to see, I'll dig out every can of leftover latex house paint I have and let em go at it!
Thanks guys (and ladies), wouldn't want to offend Margo et al!
