I've seen 280 grit paper recommended to rub down but what primer/topcoats
should I look for? Do I need special paints?

BTW - I will be rollering/brushing the paint.

I know this depends on the age/worth of the boat, but it would look much
nicer if you get it sprayed. I had a whole boat done once for £250.
Anyway, people seem to recommend "2pack". I don't know how you spell it,
but it is a brand name I think...

2 Pack paint is a base paint plus hardener, which gets mixed before
application - hence the '2 pack' - no relation to a dead rapper ;-}

The hassle with getting a boat sprayed is taking it to someone to do it!

Certainly for a home job rolling will give it a better finish.
