This will not give you a yacht finish. It does not cover or hide well. Even after two rolled coats on a well-sanded plywood bulkhead, stains bleed through. It is much softer than an oil or poly finish. I was hoping for something easier to use than oil or poly. I will be stripping it off and using a two-part poly primer followed by a two-part poly or oil based poly. I should have known not to buy a product that says ""EZ.""

1979 sailboat. Formerly had a lining stuck in with contact cement. Cleaned that off and painted with EZ Cabin Coat. Adhered beautifully and 2 coat coverage. It is water based, so had a couple of stains bleed through. Quick hit those with a strong stain blocker and touchup with EZ Coat. This stuff costs a good bit, but works well. I brush cut in and rolled (4 and 9 inch) large areas. I bought the white and a local paint store tinted for me.

The only reason I only rated this paint as 4 stars is because it has not been in the boat long enough to tell how well it holds up or stands up to repeated cleaning. So far I have no problems with the paint at all.

I painted the cabin ceiling of my J30 with that paint. It was already painted before and seems like the pettit paint covers more evenly than the previous paint. It covers completely in 2 coats. Very easy to use, easy clean-up. Works well with a short nap 4"" roller. Time will tell if the anti-mildew is working well or not...
