Smooth Prime rolls on very easy, you can control thickness with the proper
roller. I did 3 coats as a minimum. Sands easy with 12 to 18 inch foam sand
ing block DURABLOCK. Rolling allows better working the stuff into pin holes
. Then sprayed epoxy primer filler, sanded to 350. Then another thin epoxy
surface prep, hand sanded to 500. Then BASF single stage polyurethane low v
olatility paint (still legal in Canada), two full coats. Easy to maintain a
nd fix.

uta suggestion, if you can spray on the Smooth Prime, it will be a lot more

Hey Bill...how'ya doin?
Re: spraying SmoothPrime...for the life of me, I can't imagine the high vis
cosity SmoothPrime flowing thru a spray gun.
I have VERY minimal experience spray painting, so my comfort level at tryin
g to spray Smoothprime is very low. Have you thinned the stuff?...with what
?
I'm very comfortable rolling it but that's just playing to my fears. Up til
now, I haven't minded the extra sanding since it cuts so nicely...of cours
e, I am planning to spray the EP-420 sealer/primer.
