As pleasing as a gallon of marine paint for $35 was to my Dutch heart, save your money. I havent really commented much on the paint up till now because I was giving it plenty of time to harden or something. Well, its junk. I was having my doubts when I got a couple chips that shouldnt have happened in the garage and the paint would pretty much flake away with a light finger nail flick around the chip. After having the boat in the water once I have a feeling its not going to be looking very great by season end. My last boat I used a paint that was labeled for Boaters World and it held up great and I put this on the same way. Not a big worry for me since this is my fishing boat, Im disappointed but not much I can do about it now other than warn everyone else. Yes... yes... somethings are to good to be true.
