Yeah we did the Fantasy bilge with Duplicolor ;)
First i sanded , then i sanded some more and then finally i sanded more. then spray it on and resin over it.  Jim added acetone to it to thin down the resin ;)

I am getting ready to do my Omega bilge in blue after my stringer's are done ;D

Well, after going through my motor and pump, I'm kind of tired of working on the boat for the time being, so I'm going to rattle can the areas that I did patch until later this year when I get the energy up to take on the JORK job and also carpet and upholstery.  I've got all new gauges, steering wheel, anodized bezels and those will go on when the paint is done.  I guess you can say I'm stock piling parts (bling) now so I'll have it when I'm ready.

Yes  ;D

Yes. Sand it first.

Just remember to wipe up the sand dust and keep your hands off the area your going to paint (latex gloves work  ;D) your
hands have oils and oil keeps paint from sticking...   though in a engine compartment...   no worries  ;D

Acetone is for cleaning NOT thinning.  You use Styrene to thin with.

 I call bullshit..........look on a can of acetone, it even states it is an epoxy and fiberglass thinner. ;D
