I've also used oil based porch paint on polyester - which you can get mixed in any color you like. I used a linseed oil based paint, and my reaction was unhappy when some of it abraded off under my tie down straps a couple of days after painting. Now, however, that paint, which has since fully cured, is as tough as can be. I would use it all the time, but I don't like buying a gallon of paint and using only half - or less - of it. Also, I want it to dry in a day, at most.
Perhaps a polyurethane based porch/house paint would cure faster, and be as tough.
