Boat paint suggestions?

bigdog, if you want it to last make sure you do a really good prep. Get some 320 and 400 grit wetordry sandpaper and sand it down wet.

Once you get all the sanding done, get a rag and wipe everything down with laquer thinner and keep your fingers off the surface.

You can use the Rustoleum but this is one place where you get what you pay for. I'd go with the $40/quart.

Many thin layers (as in 4-5) is better than one heavy coat. This is the key to avoiding the chipping and flaking.
