Which paint would you use on a wooden sailing dingy (Pacer) that is mostly stored under cover outside?

Personally I would go to a local paint shop (or the big green shed

) and buy a can of white knight single pack epoxy in colour of your choice.

I would just just spray 3 coats of White Knights oil based paving paint. No primer or undercoat. Leave it a week or so and flat off with 600 wet and dry.

For years I used quality oil based paint it's ok but a bit soft, these days I go the extra inch and roll on a two pak it takes the punishment better
