Advantages of the Roller and Tip method: • Roller and tip is a much cheaper method because there is no need to buy expensive equipment like compressors and spray guns. • You can save on a substantial amount of masking material using the roller and tip method. • The roller and tip method is going to result in a thicker coating of paint on the hull. • There is no overspray; consequently, little paint wastage and no danger to nearby boats. Advantages of using a Spray gun: • Generally, the final finish of a spray gun applied coating is superior to a roller and tip application. • Applying paint using a spray gun is considerably faster; this advantage becomes more significant as the size of the hull increases. • Painting can be carried out by a single person; roller and tip are much easier when done by two people.
