I'm restoring my 1967 Bertram Moppie, and I'm ready to paint. Can anyone recommend a good hard paint that doesn't chip to easily? thanks

Can't remember if that's wood or 'glass but most of the good two part marine paints should work well for you. I personally prefer Interlux Prefection, it will cover wood and fiberglass. Just different primers.

How are you applying it. Spray or roller then tipping. As said above AwlGrip is good as is Imron Polyurethane (Fountain Boats) as is Sherwin Williams two part urethane

does anyone have any experience with top secret coating? Lots of info on their web site, considering giving the SM-1000 a try

I painted my hull with Pettit EasyPoxy and the topside with Valspar Tractor and Implement Paint with Hardener Cost was under $100 bucks. See the last link in my Signature. Very durable and Extremely glossy.

Thanks for the pics, Bart. Nice Job! I'm an AwlGrip guy myself. Whatever floats your boat.
