I like Toplac by Interlux for a one-part enamel. It is the very best
one-part paint I have ever used, and I have used most of them at one time or
another. It is the nearest thing to a two-part LP paint as far as gloss
retention and hardness. I first used it about three years ago and love it.
It is also user friendly.
If you have CPES on the bare wood, you only need to apply several coats of a
good undercoat, sand smooth and topcoat with 3 coats. The undercoat will
fill the grain.
Good luck,

************************************
I did a search of the archives and have followed some of the advice found
there on this subject. I have stripped the cetol and applied CPES epoxy
sealer. I need to put some filler on the wood to cover the grain and then
I'm ready to go. One post in the archive says that the one part paint is
good for 3-4 years but it's easy to repair scratches and worn areas while
the two-part will last twice as long but requires a lot more effort to
repair. I like the idea that I can easily repair marks on the paint but I
don't want to have to put on annual coats to maintain the gloss.
Anyone have real life experience in this area, or just an opinion?
