Thanks for the enlighting, anyway. People who have done that here
complain of the dirt collecting in the little craters. My berth is
just opposite the locks of the Kiel Canal, which means lots of smoke
and other residues of the crude oil that the big ships push out. That
combined with the odd rain shower lets the surface age pretty quickly,
optically at least.

But the method is nice.

AFAICR a possible way to get round that is to paint a second coat of
paint over the craters.

Wouldn't take too long to try out a sample on some scrap board, to see
how easy it is to hose/scrub clean.

The first coat of paint could be done through a template or with
masking so the edges are left clear and so easier to clean.

cheers,
Pete.
