[Rhodes22-list] Bottom paint

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Hi Peter,

To a certain extent, it depends on whether you are spraying or rolling on the bottom paint.  As I recall, the last time I bottom painted using a combination of spraying & rolling, a gallon was enough to apply 2 coats.  How are you lifting the boat to get complete access?

I'd say a half gallon is no where near enough.

400sqft per gallon is a typical house paint coverage.
