Paint your wagon... and come along!

That makes Emily Clint Eastwood and me... Jean Seberg. Well, one of us could be Lee Marvin I guess.
Instead of trying re-gelcoat our cabin top we decided to go the painting route. We're using Interlux Pre-kote and Brightsides (white). Brightsides is one part polyurathane paint, and is nice and durable. Since the condition of the fiberglass was pretty rough I filled in the deep scratches and chips with epoxy/filler to smooth them out. Then we sanded, taped and tacked.

We've put on the first primer coat and the difference was like night and day. Well, it looks like day and first-coat-of-primer day. We'll put a second coat on and then 2 top coats.
