I Don't think you have to sand after the prime coat, But................You will be amazed at the difference in finish if you do. All that surface texture kind of adds up and gives you that "orange peel" finish. Wet sand with some 220-300 grit.
Are you painting the hull and topside?
 
Yeah, thinking of doing the hull and topside even though I can get a bit of a shine back in the hull though. Just not as nice as I want it to be.

Hoping the price of te paint isnt like Awlgrip either.
Still cant believe the shine on your V. The top side looks great !!. No runs ?
Wanna get the paint on before its to cold out.

Did you use it on the floor also? I need to fix a place in my floor and what's holding me up is I can't pull the trigger to cut the floor because I want to be able to cover the repair area. Doesn't have to cover the repaired area in the floor but I want it to not raise a flag as soon as you loo in the boat.

Not sure I follow what your saying here.

But yes I did use it on the deck. I used the same paint (rolled it) with Interlux Intergrip additive on the non-skid areas(bow, gunwhales and cockpit deck). It has held up O.K. I would do it the same way over again.

Is the converter the hardner or is the converter the stuff so you can spray ??? ???
WOW, super great Pics. ;D Hoping to cut a section of the deck out today and repair. Was suposed to call the DOver store today and see if they had it in stock, but was held up on F.O.P. contract talks all day. :-/
Been shopping around on E-Bay for a spray gun. What Spray gun did you use or what spray tip. ???
 
Not sure on what spray tip I should use. ??? :-/
Called today, they have the paint and primer in stock. 50 bucks a gallon, plus the converter/hardner.
 
I used a standard siphon feed cup gun I borrowed from work, similar to this style. Ours is a Binks model 18

I'm not sure about the tip. Although I have'nt used one....I'm sure one of those HVLP (high volume low pressure) guns would probably work better. You will get a good feel for spraying with the primer, if you have any issues, no worries, it sands very easy like automotive primer.

You will also need to get some thinner for spraying and clean-up. Were you pleased with the price of that Devoe paint?........sounds pretty good to me.

Here's a thought for you. Get whatever white you want for the topsides, paint it. You should have enough paint left to take the remainder back to them and have them put a little color tint in it (yellow, blue, whatever) and spray some color on the hull if you want.
