Did i mention it covers in one coat and it dries hard as a rock in 8 hours i don't care if you pour a gallon into the corners it will be concrete by morning.

You can't beat it if it was twice the price trust me.

Yep, nothing fancy. Just finished doing mine last week. Used a 4 inch roller and a brush. It does roll and brush better if you thin it slightly with interlux brushing liquid 333. Oh and use a China bristle brush.

I've used it and it does turn yellow with a little time. Last time i did boat interior and engine compartment, I used single stage imron... It's relatively "old" technology and is not that expensive for what you get. have it mixed up in whatever color you like, have them add some flattening agent so it won't show every little imperfection and then put it on with foam roller and brush. A simple charcoal and particulate face mask respirator with a fan blowing to keep fumes from concentrating in engine compartment will be plenty for safety - it's aerosolized droplets that make it and other isocyanate based paints so dangerous to use, when applying with brush or roller, it is MUCH safer. you can get any color you like, durability and resistance to spills, etc... are much better than bilgekote also. Like any paint, adhesion is going to be most impacted by the quality of the prep work.

Just my experience...
