The paint costs are but a mere fraction of the paint job. After all that $ that goes into prep, I would not scrimp on the paint.

I was very happy with it. It was somewhat cheaper than Awlgrip but you need supplied fresh air when spraying as it's fairly toxic.

But rather than a regular expensive marine paint, here's an interesting question: Since Corvettes and other cars are either fiberglass or plastic these days, couldn't some kind of auto paint work as well on the deck and hull? I would imagine auto paint would be less expensive since it's used so often and so widespread. Any downside the list can think of?
