SCAMPers:
Can't believe I am considering paint, but since I may flip the boat within a month or so, I want to think about this.
I have no experience with paint. I used the Almond Rustoleum Oil based enamel "stops rust" in the bilge. That stuff is quite good. Cheap too. But it does not like amine blush that is for sure. In any event, I really like the paint scheme of SCAMP #243 as seen on his blog:

Now, he used Rustoleum rather than marine paint. It seems so approachable, less expensive, and the stuff is so easy for me to get. So, I may copy his scheme completely since I like it. I was considering a scheme with the waterline a different color, but now that I see the full hull painted, I like it. Easier too.
Question is, how good is the stuff long term? I am looking for a working boat finish, since that is all that I am capable of anyway with my skill set!
Also, how does one do non-skid with that stuff? Thoughts?
Paint redux, Rustoleum? Non-skid?

Re: Paint redux, Rustoleum? Non-skid?
I used that same Rusto on the deck boards of my previous boat. To it I added a non-skid product and then rolled it on. Following the instructions on the Rusto can I rolled on a second coat of just paint and let it a dry for a week. Works good last long time, good workboat finish, just make sure it's fully baked before using and be ready to touchup as needed.
