I applied the Wetlander myself. It can be applied with a roller and/or brush or sprayed on. The sprayed surface will be smoother then a roller. The final surface has a bit of an orange peel look to it but doesn't hurt the performance.

You sprayed it on and it still has a bit of orange peel? (This isn't a criticism, it sounds like a lot of my spray jobs!)

What gun settings did you use?

I guess this is a bit of an irreversible decision- if it is silicone- based, I'm guessing changing to a different paint later won't be an option?

How much (volume) did you use for the Panthera? (Fantastic-looking job on the boat, BTW!)

Did you use the 'primer and paint' combo from Wetlander, or just paint over epoxy? Or was there epoxy primer in there somewhere?
