[QUOTE="dyeguy1212, post: 129114, member: 1460"] You'll want to stay away from auto paint. It dries hard and doesn't allow for much flexing, so it'll crack pretty fast considering the amount of flex in most boat hulls (even if you don't notice it). I'd suggest using a marine topside paint like pettit easypoxy or something similar. But what I'd REALLY suggest is leaving the hull bare. I don't know what your intentions are, but let me tell you, you're lucky to have a bare hull in my opinion. Once paint is on there, there's really no turning back. You'll be at the mercy of every tree branch, boat dock, etc., and have to deal with the chips they produce... [/QUOTE]
