Paint recomendations

[Ciderman]

After assesing the bodywork of my 535 I feel its in need of a respray to bring it back to its former glory , question is to acheive a good finish what is the best paint to use to do the job that will last me 5 years or so ? It will be doing a few salt water trips.
My easiest option is 2k automotive paint which I have plenty of but Im not sure how it will stand to salt water ,
So recomendations please

Don't know about spraying, I have just rolled mine with "International Toplac" after a couple of weeks of scraping and sanding, (mine was blue) I also added some fine sand to ensure a grippy surface. Last thing you want to do is end up in the drink. You really do need something to rough up the surface. I suppose you could put the pads around the outside, but anybody straying off them would most certainly fall.

hi

please dont use car paint. It will not work and look v v bad. I dont know the technical reasons but marine paint only and most people put this on with a roller.
