The stripes and Ski Nautique insignia on the older Ski Nautique boats were painted at the factory with Rustoleum paint.

Has there been any write ups on using BEHR or any other brands of paints? Rustolium is pretty limited on colors. Home depot only had (that I saw) black, sliver, white, red, yellow, navy and brown. BEHR (which I realize is for walls) had 200 shades of blue.

I am a goof and I was looking at the color samples they have for house paint. I found a blue I like. I'm lame, I know.

No. Spray can paint is not a single stage paint. Its paint with no hardener. Its like spraying a automotive single stage paint with no hardener. It dries, but its not very hard and not oil, fuel, chemical, etc resistant. Clear coating that spoof can job with a real automotive clear will make it last. If you dont it will fade really fast in the sun and the salt will chew on it also. You can just touch it up every once in awhile like so others do here with their spray can jobs.

I do like the design though. Looks good for a spray can job.

That is a roll on enamel paint job, not spray can.

On a side note, would it be possible to mix metal flake into the enamel and roll that on the same way as the regular enamel?

What type of clear coat is good over enamel or isn't it necessary.

I saw and read about the car that was painted with enamel... interesting and affordable alternative to having your ski sprayed at a shop.

Curious as to how it will hold up...

My appliance epoxy paint has held up to fuel spills, and has NOT faded in the sun.

Im not sure you can clear over it though.

I mixed the same enamel (different color) 50/50 with mineral spirits just like that guy said he did. Rustolium paint is already pretty thin. Mixing it so much thinner restuled in a runny mess. It didn't go on smooth and it was very runny. I have a hard time believing that this method would result in a quality paint job. I could take a picture of what I painted tonight and you'd think it looked great. Pictures are deceiving. It looks like ********. I'm going to sand it smooth tomorrow and roll with no thinner. The stuff I have painted w/o thinner looks great. The thin stuff looks like a mess.

I painted my engine with the same unthinned color right after I painted the hull with the thinned paint. The engine looks wonderful. The hull looks like crap. Fortunatly, the hull is easy to correct.

PS. Rustolium primer does not mix with thinner.
