[Alberg30] Hull two part paint

[Scott Wallace]

Hi Charles,

Thanks for your tips!  I appreciate everyone's feedback and find this a
wonderful forum to get a better sense of many significant issues - one part
or two part, light colours or dark colours...spray or roll and tip.  It
definately sounds as if proper prep is essential to any decent looking job!

Now I need to do some decision making!

Thanks,

Scott
