I used it last year on a boat I built. Tile red for bottom and trim, then natural beige for the rest of it. The company is good to deal with, you will get your order in just a couple of days. This is suppose to be a commercial grade paint, as well as marine capable, I even called and asked again, even though they say so on thier website, they also reassured me that it would not be effected by gasoline under normal conditions as in a boat. Now this paint, it is unbelievably thick, I mean as thick as honey, you thin it with mineral spirits. A lot of mineral spirits, especially on the first coat, not as much on the second coat. Scoop out a gob and put in a bowl, can, and thin it, again as you need more. You can not use this paint under damp or cool conditions. It wants very hot and dry conditions to cure in a day or so, can take over a week to cure if temperatures are in 50's during day. They claim it has a very high abrasion resistance, and I agree. I painted last fall late, and still have to put a second coat on interior ( this summer when it is too hot to fish). But I even had my boat out in early march and was even breaking ice, got some scratching around outer chime rub rail, but not much considering what i was doing, beaching it a lot and bottom looks fine. So I say use it, just use it under dry and hot conditions. There are 2 other paints I recommend, one is kirby, a oil based marine, and the common porch and deck paint at all hardwares. All of these paints are good and under $60. a gallon with plenty of colors to choose from. If you use porch and deck, get the really good ones. I also used famowood for puttying nails and screws as well as touch up, and it works great also.
