Re: help with painting boat

if you are just going to use it for another season and get rid of it what does it matter unless you are trying to up the resale value of it. If that is the case then prep work is key when painting. any one stage paint would be good just to give it a luster enough to lure someone into buying it. But if you want to go all out which i dont think you do then you would might want to buy something metalic, that will set things off or two stage metal flake and clear.
