WPS!

What was the time frame adding your 6 layers of topcoat? Any sanding between them?

Are you recommending one build up primer coat -- sand with 300 or 400 grit - apply 2 or 3 coats of topside paint? From there, should I wet sand in 600-800-1000, etc.. grits to a gloss finish or should I sand with 320 grit and apply one additional top coat like you did on the first side and then wet sand? Thanks - great videos and level of detail is excellent.

Captain John: What roller would you prefer using Alexseal?

I was using a mole hair roller here and it just doesn’t roll out as smooth. I like to use a 3/16 nap from Sherwin Williams. Not sure the info on the roller. When I fine one I’ll show it to you.

Questions for you, please. 1. About how many sanding discs (in the finer grits) did you use for that length hull? 2. At what grit do you begin wet sanding? 3. What do you use for the guide coat? I have the the Mirka dry coat, do you prefer spray? Thank you very much. Everything you post is extremely informative.

Hello, I probably used around 7 discs each after painting I started with 800 then 1200, 1500, 2000, and sometimes 3000. Depends on how smoothly your painting rolls out. After the first 800 sanding the rest goes quickly. I prefer spray guide coat, it’s easier the put on.

The guide coat I got from o’Reilly’s auto parts, it’s cheap.

I really appreciate the rapid response. I believe you are helping a lot of DIYers. Do you wet sand the 800?

@finditfixitsailit9322

I do wet sand the 800 just be sure to use guide coat and don’t sand through the paint. You can touch up the paint if you do but it’s more work

You might try 800, then 1200 Or maybe to 1500 on a area then buff it to see if it’s necessary to sand with high grit.
