b/c the stuff is BULLET PROOF! harder than hell, goes on nice, stays nice for years, very durable stuff, also very toxic, that's why CA outlawed it in the 80's. but it's still available in a lot of other states.

There are other products out there that is more high tech and better suited for a boat.  Hard is good but needs to flex some since boats flex.  I found this stuff and I'm going to try it.  http://www.motostorm.com/gpage8.html  And I can get this for you.  There's also what Jork used...  SPI Universal Clear.  http://www.southernpolyurethanes.com/tech%20sheets%20new/universal%20clear%20tech%202006.pdf  and you can buy that for personal use from http://www.bakerpbe.com/catalog.php?VendID=SOUT05&descr=Universal+Clear

Maybe I'm just an old fashion kinda guy. I'm gonna use Imron if I can find it, if not, it may well be time for the boat to head for Davey Jones Locker

Try here.  http://www.mikeandjerrys.com/dImron.asp  They may ship it to you.  You mean you would sink a boat rather than use something else?   :)

Hey Luckie, what are you painting?, they make a product that I have recently spent a bunch of time researching that alows you to spray gelcoat to the point that you will swear it's paint (Duratec) I can buy it in Gilroy (about 10 mins. from my house), this is what I'm painting my Carrera with, Imron is old school and very dangerous to spray, check out PPG's Deltron, very similar properties of Imron but without the toxicity and VOC's, (which is why Cali. outlawed)

GT-

Tell me more about this stuff, I'm sure I can get it local if it's available in Garlicville. I'm going to paint the rayson craft if it doesn't sell.

Basically its an additive to mix with gelcoat that alows it to be sprayed with a normal spraygun, either HVLP or a pressure pot, you can thin it with MEK to a desired consistancy, and it will flow out like enamel, pretty bitchen stuff. My buddy painted the floor in his flatbottom and it looks really cool...

These guys make the gelcoat they paint molds for building boats and crap with. Really tuff, abrasion resistant and tougher than gelcoat.  Really badass stuff...I have to find the link to post, I just got home and saw this...I've painted a boat with Imron around 1995, it came out really cool, until we ran a lag bolt from a dock right down the side and had to fix it, the color didn't match for shit. Plus its like sanding diamonds.

Other LP (Linear Polyurethane) paints you can get locally are Awl Grip (Lewellen Supply in Long Beach) and Sterling (Detco in Westminster, CA).  Both give you the same results (better actually) than Imron while being more user friendly.  Either can be sprayed or applied with a roller/brush combo.  Same precautions when applying as you used with Imron

Cheers, Mark
