    Greetings -

    We are tired of messing with Cetol every year and are looking into paint.
    One yard has quoted us as follows:

    "ENTIRE TOE RAIL WOULD NEED TO BE STRIPPED & SIX
    COATS OF SMITH'S PENETRATING EPOXY WILL BE
    APPLIED. TOE RAIL WILL THEN BE SANDED WITH 150
    GRIT SANDPAPER & THREE COATS OF 545 EPOXY PRIMER
    WILL BE APPLIED. TOE RAIL WILL THEN BE SANDED WITH
    320 GRIT SANDPAPER. THREE COATS OF AWLGRIP WILL
    BE APPLIED BY SPRAY"

    Does anyone have experience with this method of application and build-up
    and
    its longevity?

    Regards,

    John

    While not exactly what I did, it pretty close. I got tired of the varnish
    thing as well. So, I stri[[ed the hand and tow rails.
     
    I applied ONE coat of CPES, two coats of primer and two top coats of toplac.
    Im quite happy with the results. Took 3 months to complete and about $600.00
    for a DIY job. That included two weekends at the boatyard
     
    I had previously painted my upper deck rails with the same paint three years
    ago, and they still look great.
