I spray painted three canoes. It takes several coats because the paint is so thin. I like spraying the inside especially because you can just point the gun under the deck and let it go. Also, that thin paint inside seeps into every little crack. I bought a cheap sprayer from Lowe's and find it works fine, just a lot of cleaning. Thus far I am spraying the first coats inside and out figuring the thin paint will penetrate. When I've done this a couple times I take the brush and heavier paint on the outside to "build up" a layer or two, then spray to finish and hide the brush marks.
