Just had a chat with technical guy at SML about which Jotun two pack to choose.

For clear coat just one choice the AS clearcoat, but use the high quality thinner H2 to give more time with a wet edge and help bubble release. Some of the spray guys go up to 40% thinners, so no problem going to 20% and doing more coats to achieve a good finish.

For the white hull coat he agreed XP is formulated to be better for brushing and rollering, but it does that by using less catalist, so never goes quite as hard and cannot be burnished like AS. After talking it over he advised using AS with H2 thinner and going for more thin coats which can finally be burnished.

Advised roller and light tip as people have said on the forum.

So looks like we will go ahead with SML and AS Clearcoat on the inside of the Snipefish and white AS on the outside of the hull.
