Neither will add any significant buoyancy....
Sorry, I couldn't resist. I have used the Duplicolor on other items,
and have been extremely impressed with it's performance. It takes
forever and 3 days to dry, but once it cures, it's rock solid, very
comparable to my permatech bedliner. It also seems to take extra coats
very well - you don't get much of a layer effect, the new layer seems to
"melt in" to the existing layer if done within 24 hours. [while it's
still soft.]
Just be prepared to use the whole can or clean the heck out of the
nozzel [ Acetone IIRC] afterwards.
.
I've used the rubber under coat in a spray can and found it not to last. I've use the Duplicolor bed liner in the spray can. Found it to hold up well! Used it on tail light guards, bumpers and other odd items. Its at close to $8 a spray can around here. Use it wisely. But it does dry fairly quickly.
