Author	Topic:   Ultra-Tuff coating
ChocLabWhaler	posted 01-03-2004 12:39 PM ET (US)         I've searched the threads... Those of you who have used UltraTuff coating say it was pretty easy to apply. How many gallons did you need? Cost? Is the Whaler blue a different shade that the "waterpark blue"? Are there any pictures of your boat? I'm going to begin restoring my '67 Nauset any day now.... Thanks, CLW

I got 2 gallons plus special applicator and primer for about $150. I have only applied in the front locker so far and did that with a brush. Pretty easy but you have to be careful on thining it down even though it seems too thick.

I used a foam brush bought from Home Depot. I ordered 3 gallons for my Newport (Way too much). They matched up to my tan interior. I put it on the one-piece molded deck, but no the floor. As a note, you also need the primer. Jeff Auler
