Yacht Enamel

I'm considering using a paint product used in marine applications for a brush finish on my 26/27 speedster project. Here is the product maker website:

http://www.epifanes.com

The only downside for me (besides the quality of my brush painting) is that they do not make a low sheen finish--everything seems to be high gloss.

Anyone have experience using this type of product?

Thanks, Gene

I have not used Epihanes products, but I can tell you they are well respected in the marine industry.
I use George Kirby paints on my wooden boats, and Rustoleum on my T.

I used Epifanes on my wheels when I had them respoked about 10 years ago. I applied several coats of Epifanes High Gloss Clear Varnish and then applied a final coat of Epifanes Woodfinish Matte.

The Matte is designed to be applied over the High Gloss Varnish.
