If you are going to use the marine gloss system make sure you are painting the same colour so when you scratch it ,it doesn't show like a glow, i would suggest this is std enamel with 93 plus or similar to harden it a wee bit. 2 pac would be better and harder for wear but reaction laquer undercoat and top coat would be the bee's knees, available from Nuplex, just a bit harder to use but a far superior product.

One wee bit of advice on the polyboat, keep it out of the sun as much as possible when yur storing it. New Zealands sun is hell on plastics especially plastics that are not UV stabilised, and there aren't too many of those around as time has proven, and one day it will split, probably around the topsides where it flexes and gets maximum sun.

From what I've found out the modern generation of Polycraft are UV stabilised, hence the use of so many in the tropics. The main reason there are so few in NZ is that the importers also own a leading NZ manufactured brand and are (or were in the past) a little wary of going into competition with themselves.
