So after painting the hull with perfection we will finish up the carpentry and build on the deck, after that comes the prep for paint on the top cap.

The thing is, I stupidly scratched our brand new paint on the hull (luckily in a sort of hard to see area), after many hours of searching online you CAN'T TOUCH UP PERFECTION. The way to touch it up is paint the whole boat again.

What Im going to do is get a small bottle of model paint and a tiny brush.

So we were thinking of using perfection in white for the top, until we found this out. The top will be much more prone to visible scratches and dings due to people getting in and out, loading and unloading, drunk morons (aka me).

So we want to spray the top cap, except this time with something durable, preferably two part, and something that can be touched up and blended in case larger areas need to be fixed later on.

Any suggestions?

How'd you manage to scratch the perfection? Was it not dry yet?

A big part of the reason it can't be touched up is it's so darn hard.... curious as to how you managed to scratch it...

If you're going to paint in an area that will get wear, I'd recommend perfection, or else gel coat.
