Flowcoat or Danboline?

[northwind]

On my 30yr old Super Seal, the quarterberth "ceiling" i.e. under the deck is not finished, and remains a bit grimy, but basically grp mat.

My first thought was to paint it with Danboline, as it could do with cheering up, but would I be better off flowcoating it, to give it a smoother finish?

Beyond cleaning it, is there loads of prep needed to flowcoat it?

Which would you choose?

Danboline for me.

Clean, easy to use, good coverage, keeps well in the tin for future use.

PS
Always dries remarkably well. I put some on last year in the cold spell, -5 and it was fully dry the next day.

I have used both but in lockers/bilges not overhead, since you should not need the greater durability and scrubbability of flowcoat, I agree that the Danboline would be much easier to apply overhead in a confined space and adequate for the job.

Personally i prefer Blakes locker / bilge paints, but why not use a coloured oil gloss on your deck head

Excellent, I always like to hear good news, why, are they better, cheaper?

I just used Danboline at the weekend there for painting the insides of the cabin; am quite impressed with the results- Much brighter and cleaner looking.

Of course time is the real test however I see no reason for it not to be just fine. Hopefully.
