    Just to make sure Gaz, here is a link to download "how to" apply your coating.

    "I'm going all white using Northane 2 pack paint, i will be using Northan Epoxy Primer". What are you going to follow it up with as this is NOT a finish coat.

    Im going to strip the whole top cap back to the undercoat there is just to much flaking paint all over it, no way to repair it all best way to just strip it using paint stripper

    I applied some orange peel paint stripper but it barely worked so i need some bunnings paint stripper

    There is a lot of dried uncured resin on the top deck the paint stripper today removed the staining but done nothing to the paint

    Just read very carefully the link I posted. Norglass is very specific about preparation of your surface, also about when to do it.
    Trust me, don't follow those instructions and you will be spending a lot of time on rework which will take you a lot, lot longer.
    I forgot, make sure you get the right nozzle size, also supercheeep have a gun that is probably cheaper than your knock off gun at half the price. It's your compressor that might let you down, what capacity is it.
    Edit, just checked out your spray gun, you need a decent compressor to run it, 195l per min is quiet a lot. Look at a gravity fed gun, something around 85 -100 l per min should suit you.

    gazza i tried a few different paint strippers when I was after a away to remove the anti foul of my hull easier. Just be careful as some started to eat into the fiberglass and you will end up with more repairs then you want. From reading this you are just laying down a primer and then topcoat. You not putting a hi-build down? or is the primer enough to give you something to sand.

    Hey Digs compressor should'nt be a problem 120L 3hp puts out 14cfm but i have timed 17cfm

    The paint is what i used on my transom and under the hull but this time i will be spraying it

    The knock off Star 770S is only $60

    The Shipshape primer you are going to use is a high-build primer. Mentioned in that doc I urged you to read.
