Re: [bolger] Painting Fiberglass hull- sort of off topic

We are partial to Petit EasyPoxy. We've used it for years, inside and out.
No matter what you use, prep work is critical. De-wax the hull before you
sand. Fill any defects before you prime. We use two or three coats of Petit
White Undercoater, sanded, before rolling and tipping two color coats. We
use Semi-Gloss White as it almost perfectly matches our gel coat.

I have to paint my fiberglass trailer-sailer, let's say it is a Dovekie-like
(for Bolger content)
18 foot one-design racer.
Has anyone used something other than the very expensive paint systems from
Interlux and the like
to paint over gel coat. Any experiences, thoughts, condemnations
appreciated.
