I used Rust Oleum Self Etching Primer coated with 2+ coats of Rust Oleum Enamel from spray cans on the interior of my boat. Long story short a few places were a little soft and very easy to scratch off with my fingernail. I sanded the soft spots back down to the bare aluminum and plan to re-paint when the weather clears up here in NE PA (Rain for 7 days...I will need my boat to get to work.)
I then went out and bought a quart of the brush on Rust Oleum to put a thicker coat on in the hopes that it won't be as soft the second time around. I also bought a can of industrial paint hardener from Tractor Supply Co. It seems like some pretty serious stuff from reading the warning label. I have a respirator from working pest control in the summer time and painting outside is a definite.
My question is has anyone used this on their build before? How well does it work? Will the paint chip off over time from being too hard and having the hull of the boat flex? I also bought Easypoxy by Pettit to paint the outside this weekend...is this safe to add to this as well? I would hate to ruin a $25 quart of paint if they aren't meant to mix. Any input would be awesome from your experience or opinion.
