I've got some fiberglass repair to do on my P16. I figured I'd slap some new paint on the hulls as well, but I'm unsure of what to use. I'd like to do some colored striping on the hull as well. I'm aware of basic masking technique and so on, but as far as painting the hulls I'm a bit clueless... Will I need to clear coat them? What type of paint do I use? any preparation/application tricks I should know?

Can anyone point me in the right direction
