[Public-List] Hull painting

[Michael]

Show quality paint jobs for cars can be that much, so reasonable is very 
much subjective. To me, DIY is what is reasonable for a sailboat. I have 
done Checkmate several times with a linear urethane roll and tip, in 
black (shows the most imperfections), for labor (mine and Karen's) and a 
few hundred dollars, and have been happy-but I am not a perfectionist. 
It's about time for another go (it's about 15 years between coats) and 
am reconsidering the urethane thing. This spring I painted another boat 
(a center console) with brightside. It's nicely shiny, less complex 
application, and touching up is simple, if it comes to that. Brushing 
liquid made it flow out, it looks sprayed.
