[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 342147, member: 9169"] Personally, I wouldn't mess with a clear coat. Not sure it's going to provide much more protection anyway. Since your camo'ing your boat, are you planning on hunting out of it? If so, I definitely wouldn't use any sort of gloss paint or clear coat. Will defeat the purpose. Only other thing I'll add is to give the entire boat a good wipe down with acetone or paint thinnner prior to painting/primering. And yes, let your boat bake in the sun for at least a few days to help the paint cure. I used Parker duck boat paint on mine and put it back on the trailer after only a day or two. Nicked up the paint pretty good in a few spots. After it sat for a few more days the paint was rock hard. [/QUOTE]
