tommays will become famous soon enough
I used a good normal spray paint mask with paint pre-filters



BUT in the room were i painted there is a 1000 CFM fume hood and i allways work on one side of the mast and rotate it with the hood pulling the FUMES AWAY from me at ALL TIMES

As i wear glasses the full face is a PITA BUT is safer

At this point HVLP guns are the best becasue they have the best transfer rate (puts the paint on your boat not in the AIR ) and I like SATA

As far as the different paints you dealing with a good paint or a good paint with the real change you might be able to do repiars better

BUT go to any body shop and try and get 1/2 a door painted its NOT gonna happen and look good no matter what they do to the paint

If a dirty bottom slows you down what do you think it does to your boat

matt2 is on a distinguished road
Thanks for that info Tom.

Would you recommend a similar spray gun but different nozzle for the hull and deck?

It will be trail and error as there are a LOT of deck sizes BUT you will want a full size gun with 1.5 to 1.8 tip

I will post the link to the Awlgrip training videos so you have a better idea what your geting into

Videos.aspx*

If you feel good after watching these go for it
