Hi James,

You are right about the two part Polyurethane being very good at resisting 
UV breakdown. I have been told though that Urethanes do not perform in 
immersion service very well. You may want to check with the company to see 
if they will stand by your application.

Good Luck and Best Regards,

Jim Kocourek

Hi All.

After a lot of investigating and advice from the group, i was going to use 
Relius paint products for my sub.  However, they were going to charge 800 
Euro for shipping from Oldenburg to Guernsey.  Yes 800!

So, i have found this other product called Jotun.

After speaking to the guy in the shop, i will blast to SA 25 and use 
Jotamastic 87 standard (a 2 part epoxy) to 350-400 microns, brushed on.

Then use 2 coats of Hardtop AS (a 2 part Polyurethane) sprayed on as a UV 
protective and high gloss topcoat.

The price for the paint itself is similar, but the shipping is only ?40 to 
Guernsey!

Any thoughts anyone before i place my order?

Thanks
James
