Painting my Shetland
 

I own a Shetland Kestrel which has had the hull painted. I would like
to rub it down and give a fresh coat for the season.

Is there any particular paint I should use ?

Tell me about it. You have to ask them to carry it just to be told
they don't yet have the capacity. However, you can subscribe to a
decent news service for free at http://news.individual.net

I paint my boats with Dulux exterior grade. It costs about a tenth of the
cost of two-part paints. One boat has been in the water for three winters,
and still looks like new.

Rub down: apply a coat of undercoat thinned 10%; light rub down (just to get
rid of flies, bits of dust and hairs), repeat undercoat; light rubdown,
apply gloss thinned 10% (brush or brush and roller); light rub down, repeat
gloss. In good weather, you can do both undercoats in a day, and both
glosses in two days. Don't gloss if there is a risk of frost.
