: Here being St. John's, Newfoundland. Interlux Brightsides is the
: "paint of choice" with the marine supplier's round
: here. I used it on my S&G but am looking for other options.

: Just curious but what are the disdvantages of using something like
: an acrylic paint? My boat has two layers of 6oz glass on the
: bottom of the hull so I'm thinking that the coat of paint is not
: going to offer any more impact resistance. I know that paint
: will offer some abrasion resistance but how much more from a
: polyurethane over an acrylic? While the paint may abrade, how
: much protection is provided for the epoxy coating below? I'm
: wondering if we are dealing in "theoretical"
: differences or are there big benefits of going with a tougher
: paint.

: Inquiring minds want to know.

There is a product called something like a dulling agent, that can be added to most paints to make them semi-gloss. Have to ask around for it.
