I have typically painted two primer coats and two finish (color) coats on canoes I have refinished. I currently have a Chestnut Bobs Special with two coats of primer over filler. Is there any good reason to apply additional coats of primer, or just go ahead and apply two coats of color? For a pretty old canoe with lots of repairs, I'm not going for a showroom quality finish; just durable for regular use and reasonably good appearance.
2nd coat of primer complete:
Oh, and an aesthetic question. This canoe will be green, my first one (don't include the dusty green plastic canoe on the rack... it belongs to a friend who keeps it in my barn). I have Kirby's Bottle Green and Blind Green. Any opinions on these two colors?
