If your intentions are to hide scratches as much as possible I would use as much tint as possible on all coats of epoxy. I did this on a couple white hull kayaks and it worked great.

: I am just getting ready to glass the hull of my Black Pearl. As
: implied by the name, I will be painting the boat black. I was
: contemplating tinting the epoxy black - at least the first one
: on the bare wood - and maybe later ones. The boat will be
: painted black as well. I was thinking that tinting the epoxy
: black would lessen the visibility of white scratches on a black
: hull.

: Suggestions? Comments? Pitfalls?
