We have brackish water here so we get a yellow water stain. when I come home I just break out the water hose and rinse the yellow water stain off.
It still looks new no scratches or fading or chipping

When I decide to paint the entire hull I'll do it in automotive paint.
My 2 cents worth.

What type of automotive paint did you use? This is my first boat and the bottom paint really needs to be removed. Looks like it has 2 different colors on there in some spots, black and blue. Will the automotive paint hold up if left in salt water for and extended period of time?
