“I plan to paint my Nacre 5.2 with some enamel paint I bought from home depot. I asked the paint guy what to reduce it with so it will work in the paint gun and he showed me the reducer. It's a lot cheaper than $75 a quart.”

Rob tell me you don’t go to Home depot for expert paint/painting advice. The guy you talk to there could very well have been flipping hamburgers at Mc Donald’s last month. Bad paint jobs/crappy materials account for more good boats being ruined than any other user cause. Many of those enamels never dry to a truly hard finish. The worse part of all is when that cheap paint goes dead in a year or two; it’s a nightmare to remove.
