I'm going to paint my topside after some cosmetic repairs. I've looked at epoxy paints and plan on using one, but while at HomeDepot I saw a garage floor epoxy paint. I've used it before on a garage floor, but it seems it would would just as well as marine epoxy paints. It is $28 a gallon versus $100. Any thoughts from you more experienced guys, or women??
Thanks

Re: Top Side Paint Question?

It has NO UV inhibitors and WILL NOT hold up in a Marine application. If you call the manufacturer they will tell you so. However, If you are looking for a less expensive alternative, lots of people on here use Rusoleum Professional thinned 10% with penetrol and get GREAT results for topside applications.

I'm just sayin...:D

Thanks, I knew there was something I wasn't thinking about. I'll go with the rustoleum.
