Red and blue not so good together - It was a good thick paint job and a bear to get through. I will be going two tone but using the original red combined with black. I have been looking into a penetrating epoxy, I've read it is higher in solvents to find it's way in pores and the spider cracks I will repair on the hull, then go with a marine paint for UV protection. I will be assisted by a local pro if I can get my money right.
