Thanks all - really useful responses ?

Hi, I'm sure this has been covered ad nauseam, but is someone able to recommend approx. paint quantities when blacking as well as the best ways to prep the metal? Here are my thought's so far... I'm planning on doing a bottom coat of Rylards Premium Protection, then a middle coat of Rytex and finally a another coat of Premium Protection along the waterline. How much of each product would you recommend for a 70ft narrowboat? Is it also recommended to use thinners with the initial coat, so that the paint fills pitted areas better? When it comes to preparation, I plan to pressure wash, paint scrap and use a tungsten sanding disc on an angle grinder to prepare the metal before painting. Thanks in advance,! Matt
