Thanks I haven't settled on an answer yet though cost is a big factor and can I do it myself. I have alot of hand sanding to do inside before I'm even ready to paint but am starting that process this week. I have the seat frame sanded primed and going to paint today. I use rusteulem cans that's just the kinda guy I am. I build cedar strip canoes and the one thing I've learned is except for another canoe builder no one sees the flaws but me. The canoes I build all look good in the water or on the truck from and stone's throw.
thanks for suggestions keep them coming I'm sure I'm not the only one with this question.
