The deck of my next boat will be hand-painted by an artist friend

Roger-
I forgot to mention (you have probably thought of this already, anyway) that pre-testing the adhesion of all the layers in your finish would be a good idea. Protecting the artwork with a clear topcoat will add another level of chemistry to the mix. (Google 'paint adhesion tape test' or similar...)
