I used their water-reduceable primer and their WR-LPU top coat, (yellow), on my latest project. Used a roller, then tipped off with a brush on both. They both work well, but the primer dries very fast, and I had difficulty getting it tipped-off fast enough. Believe SystemThree's literature about yellow. It is the worst hiding of all colors. I ended up using nearly an entire quart on the hull of my 15' boat. Both dry very hard, and sand easily without gumming up the paper.
