I am considering painting the topside of my sailboat and would like to hear from anyone who has used Pettit "easypoxy" paint. All comments greatly appreciated.

By Topside do you mean hull or deck?

I used easypoxy to paint the hull of my last boat. I used the suggested "roll and tip" technique which involves rolling the paint on and then using the tip of a brush to get it just right. As with all painting, you need to make sure the surface is perfect or the imperfections will show thru. I have very good results and encountered excellent customer service at Pettit. Good luck.

PS: The roll and tip works best when you have two people; one to roll, the other to tip.
