Two years ago this month Missus and I painted our boat with International Perfection twin pack. We went down
yesterday and washed her down and she came up like new even after two years of scuffing around the decks.

Pictures.

Nice, in 3 years time give it another wash and will still look as good as now.
And the best part is that unlike gelcoats it doesn't need any polishing and any spills and marks can be removed with thinners/cleaners,acetone or petrol without damaging your paint.

Certainly looks the goods Sam.

You are one lucky chappy to have your missus help you with the chores as well as enjoying going out on the water with you.

Great job Sam, perfection is expensive but I think it's worth the money especially if you are rolling or brushing it on.

Yes Andy it is expensive but that's the easy bit. We brushed it on but that's not without hazards at this time
of year ( heavy dew ). Fortunately Missus knows how to handle paint and brushes so the finished job was
excellent. You get what you pay for so the benefit is in a long lasting finish and no repainting for some
years to come.

Good update Sam. About to tackle same thing on deck of a Top Hat (although thinking of using the Norglass version, as that's what available here), thanks for the reminder about the dew, will tarp over the painted area for that night after.
cheers

I've used both and I achieved a slightly better finish with the perfection. The norglass is cheaper so i used their 2 pack undercoat with perfection over the top. Absolutely no problems.
