: Jeff,
: There are lots of Rustoleum paints. Which one works well on a SOF
: skinned with polyester?

Their oil based paint works great, their water based paint will work "if" you have lots of patience and can buy lots of quarts of paint. My first SOF has like 18 coats of their water based paint to get a "fairly" opaque color. Normally their water based marine paint will cover in one or two coats. This is on my dacron/fiberglass/epoxy SOF covers.
