I used Rustoleum Topside Marine <http://tinyurl.com/pl5slz8> paint (semi-gloss white) as Interlux is not easily available 350 miles from the sea. It's held up well under Eastern Oregon weather (Winter -20, Summer 100+) for eight years. IIRC, the paint and primer was about $40. I added a bit of Penetrol to improve the paint flowout. Like Alistair, short nap roller and a brush. Painted the top on the bus. Removed the luggage tray and painted it on saw horses. Jim

I used interlux briteside on my pop top a few years ago. Rolled on with short nap roller, tipped off with brush, done in small sections. Really nice result and the paint is taking a beating ( branches) and holdings up well. Alistair |
