In Response To: S&G: Auto finish *Pic* (Arko Bronaugh)

: Has anyone ever considered an automotive finish for strippers and stitch&Glue
: kayaks? I had SIKKENS paint and clear coat sprayed on the QC19 by a master
: Mercedes Benz painter and he said that it is quite flexible and has a ton
: of UV inhibitors to protect the epoxy. After one year it is in excellent
: shape. Not a great amount of time but consider that most cars see
: extraordinary amounts of exposure to UV light not to mention all of the
: other elements. It can also be made to look brand new again by buffing.
: Scratches can be sanded and then buffed out.It's a very tough finish.

Jürgen Köppen uses it on his and he really likes it. I'll probably use it on my sons kayak (if I ever get that far). Go to the link and click on Features.
