Bottom Paint For Textured Bottom
Stupidly, I put an
epoxy
barrier coat on with a roller with a 1/4 inch nap.
Got a textured bottom.
Being hard headed must be an advantage for something.
Boat
will be trailered and in fresh and
salt water
.
Considering Pettit Vivid
What
paint
do you suggest to smooth the bottom?
