im going to have to ask my SW rep. about that tomorrow and get some more info on it thanks.

They reps may not recommend it because they have not done testing over fiberglass...and that is not their intended market. Although the guy behind the counter said it will stick to anything and he was right. It has been used to paint offshore oil rigs. Goes on thicker with a brush better but has a better finish with a roller. Might be a better finish with a better brush, but I used the cheapest ones I could find at home depot and hanging upside down in the bilge didnt help either. I believe they have a reducer for it so it can be sprayed. As mentioned earlier it is semigloss (like my bilge was in the first place), but still looks pretty shiney. As far as prepping...all I did was clean the oil up around my trim pump.

ok guys,,the part numnbers i listed is the only paint that sherwin williams has that has uv protection period....the epoxy has none so if you like showing off your engines at a bar when its sitting still and in the sun its going to look like faded paint on a car that has been sitting in the florida keys its whole life in one summer..

Did not know that...most likely not a problem with white (the part number I listed).

Oops sorry I thought you started the thread^^^^^^^ my bad! Imron works great too but expensive so can't give that away.

Very good question. So far only one responded with roller and brush.
How about the rest of you guys?

You can do both. Use a foam roller 3/16 or smaller. Watch drying times . I use a weeny roller easier to maneuver .
