2003: What I did: Two coats. I followed the can instructions. A good sanding to remove any rough edges, and a light sanding with 80 grit, then I think I painted bare spots, and let dry, sanded w 80 grit again, then a 1st coat overall. After dry, sand w 320 grit and paint 2nd coat. If the directions are different, follow the directions.
2015: What I'd do if I did it again: I'd use Krylon spray paint and prep with a light sanding, spray a thin 1st coat and follow up with additional coats as needed.

I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Have a little two-part polyurethane left over from the spars painting project last spring.

It held up well but had to be brushed on and took hours to dry. The key is to sand with a course enough paper it creates a mechanical bond. Then wipe down with the recommended thinner before painting. If you are outside, nothing dries as fast as Krylon spray. Pick a no wind, dry morning and spray Flat or Semi Gloss. Use several very thin coats. I used the flat on some bare spots on my mast and spreaders and it looks great after 8 years.
