1/4 Plywood for Roof

[parnold]

Just to clarify, when the op said he was making a "woody" I assumed from context that he was referring to solid walls, not necessarily a wood grained exterior. The fact that he is asking about automotive paint also indicates this.

For a wood grained finish, I would bow out of the discussion other than to recommend automotive clear coat for uv protection.

When I say Woody, I mean: wood exterior with contrasting wood trim. Earlier musings were to paint the roof to match the tow vehicle but I'm going several coats of epoxy with even more coats of spar varnish as suggested, plus an aluminium skin on the lower half of the front for rock protection.
