Boat is fiberglass, and trailered so I don't need a bottom paint. Can I use brightside on the bottom? Or do I need to go to a two part?<br /><br />I'll be applying with roller/brush.. seems there are a million different paints for boats and I'm rather a bit overwhelmed ;-) Particularly considering the toxic nature of many.. I'd prefer to not have to file hazmat papers.<br /><br />I'm also not sure about what primers/prep are needed.. I guess I'll find out on the can of paint?

bd0,<br /><br />Brightside will work fine if the boat doesn't sit in the water.<br /><br />Go here to read up on painting procedures.<br /><br />www.westmarine.com
