Str8 this is less about the paint, and more about a pissing match between AH2 and myself that is boiling over from previous topics. So I apologize for us not being able to maintain our own civility.
However I will restate what I said before, actually don't take it from me, just look through the pages here, read through some of the topics, and you will find plenty of people, who have used and had good results with so called junk paints.
Yes, as I said previously, catalized paints (2-part) are more durable, no doubt, but they are harder to touch up and apply. For me it comes down to where you fish. If I fished deeper more open waters then I would have gone with perfection this time (assuming they had a color I liked

). Since I am constantly scraping oyster bars, pushing off sand bars, and smacking encrusted pilings, it doesn't pay cause I will have to constantly touch up anyway as that stuff goes right through gelcoat and 2-part paints alike on my friends rigs. This is why I went with an epoxy graphite bottom coating and 1-part paint this go around.
