I recently bought a 12ft fiberglass boat. It is old and has a lot of paint on it. I sanded off all of the loose stuff. This boat will be stored on a trailer. I am looking for a cheap paint. Any suggestions?

Rustoleum marine paint about $15 per quart, some Lowes carry it. Some even say they've used regular rustoleum with good results. Take a look at the thread "pic's of work so far, he use rustoleum marine & it came out exellent!

Thanks. I couldn't see spending $30 a qt for regular marine paint. I'll give the rustoleum a try.
