My first tiny resto job: After stripping my 1974 tiny down to bare metal, I’m planning to paint the entire boat with Total Boat Aluminum white paint and trim with Total Boat Topside color paint. Should I put a clear coat over the entire exterior, or is that overkill? I want a nice practical boat when I’m done, but I’m not shooting for a museum piece. Same question about putting a non-skid coating on the interior floor over the paint…

No clear coat. Just makes it harder to touch up
