Take your time setting your gun up if you spray. It likes slow small fan. I cut it 20% with MEK

This stuff is thick as mud. The instructions says you “may” thin it 5% with MEK. Unless you want a rough finish, I would say you must thin it with MEK. Then you can get a smooth finish with a foam roller. The inside of my boat looks very rough because I rolled it on straight out of the can. The outside of the hull is somewhat smooth because I thinned it first.You will not get much coverage if you don’t thin it. I used over half a gallon painting the inside of the tub.

Picture shows a GALLON. I should have paid more attention, I would have never paid $71 for just a Quart.I feel scammed.

No primer needed. This is good stuff but it DRYS QUICKLY. It tacks up within 60 seconds. Apply to your boat out of the sun. Wear a respirator. Do not breath this stuff. Suggest cutting it with MEK. Google MEK. This is a 30 year old Jon boat that USED to leak. I used Gluvit and it is now water tight! PREP WORK is KEY. Take your time and do it right.

Restored a 1999 alumacraft 1442 and used AlumaHawk as my paint. I've never painted with a resin based paint. I thinned it out with 10% thinner (per the label). Even then its thick and tends to get tacky quickly. Rollers made a mess, brush was easier. Keep it wet as you lay it on, remember, it gets tacky. Im 80/20 salt/fresh and so far, this paint is very durable, some scuffs but nothing has made it to metal.

I had a few small leaks in a 1967 model aluminum boat. I coated the bottom with an spicy resin, and painted the inside with this AlumaHawk paint. It goes on nice and heavy, dries pretty fast, and has seemed quite durable. It’s been on there for several months and no sign of a scuff or crack anywhere.

Pros: sticks to aluminum, epoxy, or old paint after light sanding.Jon boat green color looks great. Other review that it is brown is not correct. It’s green like olive drab. Gets hot in direct sun so I'm using the white to paint the bench seats on my boat instead of this green.Cons: thins with MEK, which is hard to find and hazardous to your health and fire risk. Low flash point. Eats plastic.It was easy to brush or roll. Spraying would be possible with an all metal gun and large air compressor after thinning with 50% MEK. Your cheap plastic power painter will not shoot this stuff, and cleanup with MEK will melt a plastic sprayer to slag.Wear a respirator. Really. This stuff will kill you with its fumes.Two coats on the bottom of my jon boat used 3/4 of the gallon of paint. I expected more coverage but this stuff dries fast and goes on thick. If I had thinned it it would have been easier to work with and maybe gone farther.Update 5/2020After a year this paint has turned out to be a great product. The other day I came in to the boat ramp at a bad angle and hit the corner hard enough to scrape a line out of my registration number decals. The paint underneath was not scratched off or marked in any way. This stuff is tough. Still looks great. White for the seats was a good choice in the sun- doesn’t get hot and burn your butt. Highly recommend this stuff for aluminum Jon Boats.
