How about epoxy with pigment. I've been thinking about trying that on my next boat. Do you know if it was glassed with epoxy?

Really cant tell what it was coated with...looks like a gelcoat.

I will fill a couple of chips with epoxy & install rock gaurds on bow & stern, but it structurally don't need to get a full coat of epoxy, so i would hate to add the weight.

Thinking of a coat of paint of outer hull & a couple good coats of spar varnish inside.

I just don't know what kind of paint to get? Base coat  / clear coat....just a good marine paint... or just use any auto paint & put a coat of spar varnish over that? ? ? ?
