If an auto finish (dupont, ppg, sikkens) is used what is the tolerence to being in the water. Would being in the water for a weekend or a week cause problems?

Issue is usually with 2-stage(base-clear)vs with a single stage. A 2-stage is more prone to bubbling between clear & base coats. But, a weekend or week shouldn't be an issue.

Paint is much easier to clean than gelcoat, however I have seen paint bubble if the boat is left in the water for a long weekend.

Strip,
Just painted my transom.......only regrets is that the paint shop did not take out my exhaust tips because they were afraid of stripping the screws....wish they would have anyway as I would have installed new tips.....only so close they could get around the tips for sanding

I tried many times to get Donzi to paint my transom while it was being built , no way.
Couldn't get a reason that made sense to me. Can anyone fill me in on the reason some builders don't paint the transom?

My whole boat was painted in PPG in 2001.. it has been in Fl, and all up and down the east coast. Not a flaw in it.. PPG and a lot of clear.. I got tapped at the sarasota spring opener by another boat docking.. Piece of cake to fix can't even tell anywhere it has been touched up!!
