I know there are a lot of questions that fly around about paint preferences, but an interesting discussion came up this weekend about 2 part epoxy vs. brightside enamel.
My father in-law is overhauling his dinghy([:u]), which he seems to do every 3 years([:u]). Anyway, as part of the overhaul he is repainting inside and out, all fiberglass, the bottom with typical bottom paint. We had a discussion about the above paints, he went with the enamel after speaking with the owner of a local boatyard. He was told 2 part epoxy would be a waste of money and no good for a variety of reasons, most importantly because of the flex of the hull would be too much for the expoxy.
I just thought I would throw this one out there because I initially suggested looking into other options because he has used the single enamels in the past and they are not very durable and look beatup after two years.
Just wondering ...
