Evan,

Where in Canada? - I'm putting together my supplier list right now for
a complete refit.

I went to buy some Devoe paint today. I had read up on the different
primers and 2 part topcoats on their web site, and had a few questions
about the high build primers offered. Here in Canada Devoe
industrial paints (2 part epoxies and polyurethane) are sold through
ICI, which mostly sells house paints.


ICI store in Vancouver (1st & Boundary in Burnaby to be precise).
(many ICI stores in Vancouver, but this is only one that sells the
Devoe industrial line). I'd call around TO stores and see if they
carry it. Go to Devoes web site so you know which paints and primers
you may wish. I'm using:
http://www.devoecoatings.com/home.jsp

201 - 2 part epoxy primer for everything first

224 - Barrust 2 part epoxy semi-gloss, high build for non-skid decks.
Don't want it glossy so I'm going to throw a bit of microballons
into it to see if that knocks the gloss down.

379UVA - Devthane 2 part polyurethane for the glossy areas.

T-17 - brushing modifier for rolling and tipping the 379
polyurethane non skid beads
