If your friend wants to color match the boat to his vehicle it isn't too
hard. Proper preparation is important as is the correct primer for the paint
to be used. I have had good results using automotive grade enamel on our old
Sea-Ray 19 inboard. The paint job has held up well and has not cracked. Ask
a local body shop used to painting late model cars. There are many paint
systems out there now and in capable hands they produce great results.
