When using Monocell, can I spray it on, or is it better to use a brush?

Hey mouse, In and outboard sell grey carpet for $40/metre, but I think bunnings is around $35 anyway.. Not sure if places like Clarke rubber sell that sort of thing too. Can you throw a post up if you get some good prices. Cheers.

Thanks in advance
MOUSE
When we did my old mans 5m CC we used marine ply and then coated with outdoor paint, the first coat was thick and we pushed the paint into the sides/ends of the ply with the brush to ensure a good seal. Then the 2nd and 3rd coats had non-slip stuff the paint to give you grip when the floor was wet. We painted it light blue and it didnt seem to get as hot as the carpet or stink either.

It went well for 5 years and was still solid as a rock when we sold it and the boat wasnt shed'd either
