I was in the paintbooth with Jake and we shot both Franks Blue boat and my White N20, I couldn't be happier with the results. We both shot everything below the decks, Jakes might have been alittle lower. There was a lot of prep and as waterbug said it was worth it. Also as Basketcase mentioned I did wetsand through in one spot but i reshot it and resanded it in a weekend. I do think it is more durable than paint and I like keeping the finish that the boat was built with.
