OK, I need to paint my canoe. Not to beat a dead horse but has anyone used Rustoleums marine grade paint? I know regular Rustoleum doesnt like to flow. If not, what is good? :o

You can order it direct if you live in the US. Otherwise, like me, its a no go.

i've used regular rustoleum on boat projects for years without any problem, valspar marine is a great paint also if you can find it. if you want to increase the flow you can add a bit of boiled linseed oil. or a bit of thinner. if you are using the canoe alot your gonna have to paint again in a few years anyway i would think.

Not usually considered but TSC sells tractor paint and it is tough stuff. Very nice actually. HOWEVER, I use Mr. Kirby's paint myself. I have used farm implement paint with good result but still prefer Kirby.
