Approx. 12 years ago, a club member took his Kirby 25 to an auto paint
shop....they painted the boat a 'dark green', a GMC truck color auto
paint..... sprayed several coats, nice paint job.
We wondered how it would hold up. It still looks quite good after
seasonal exposure to the elements.
I will admit I was quite surprised since I didn't initially think it
would last several seasons without cracking, splitting, bumbling, etc.
I thought the maybe any flexing of the hull would distort the paint.
It didn't as the paint shop understood what they were doing and added
the sufficient paint additive used to paint plastic bumpers and fenders
that naturally flex without the paint cracking.

Great paint job. I had wondered in the past would car paint to the
job? it last for decades without fading and can be spot fixed. Any
thoughts?
