It looks like my younger brother and his family will inherit the 1943 Guide that I did over for Dad a few years back. My younger brother is, shall we say, "detail oriented". His truck is black and always detailed, shiny, and immaculately clean. Don't even think about putting a fingerprint on it!
Anyway, he wants to repaint the canoe with the goal of getting as shiny a black paint job as possible to match the highly detailed glossy black truck. He is a spray painter, or has the means to spray paint, and is thinking about the possibility of a clear coat over the black paint job.
I think it has been mentioned before on the forum that automotive paints and clear coats may not be flexible enough for a canoe. Yes - No?
Does anyone have any experience with clear coat and getting that glossy look he is after..What might we try?
(Personally, I keep trying to suggest that it ain't a piano, just paint it with some marine gloss and paddle it).
Oh yah, then there is the gold leaf stripe he wants to try....![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png)
