Polyester has been fine for my boats - 8oz seems to be plenty strong.
Just don't use a typical boat paint - it was too stiff and cracked with a modest amount of flexure. I now have 3 boats to re-skin due to the paint.

It was also a lot more expensive than typical oil based house paint
Minwax Helmsman polyurethane spar varnish has also worked well for me if you like the translucent look (not what you said you wanted).
