IMRON is the only way to go but I would use ppg epoxy wet on wet. Done it for years. Problem is imron cost has gone through the roof. Just finished recertification with DuPont last year and love the product I use it on boats we do and spies hecker. But no one can come close to dp series epoxy from ppg. Pm me and I can walk you thru it if you need help.

I would go imron elite series.

yes.

The white base doesn't matter to much. Put a good clear over it - the clear is what yellows.

After all my stuff gets polished I`m hitting it with this: http://www.durafortress.com/



Dura Fortress™ is not a just another clear coat, promising years of protection and not delivering. Dura Fortress™ is nano-scale, water clear, indelible, protection for your parts. With a thickness of only a few mils, you avoid layers and layers of build up like a traditional clear.here is no yellowing, T no cracking, no break in the protection barrier. This barrier prevents brake dust, dirt, grime, and anything else you can throw at it from sticking to the base material, which means effortless clean up, and beautifully protected parts!

what do you recommend for a fresh water drive that doesnt stay in the water?

Well their you go the man has spoken lol..

How about some pearl on top so they shimmer when you are parked at the dock?

Stimleck I would still use imron or sand it down and polishing them looks good. Another one we used a long time ago was jetglo. It was good stuff we used on planes but very expensive.

then he would have to go with house of color paint..base white,,then 2 coats of clear then the pearl or flip flop then clear again,,that is about 5-6 hundred in materials...

You can get pearl for all clears.... Just a powder ya toss i your gun. HOK is over rated. Jon Komsomol is just a good sales man. When I was younger I sat and listened to that guy talk smack and be down right disrespectful to the guys that would be using has products. I truly believe there many better paint lines out there...... HOK is %90 hype
