Painting the V20

[fishingwithblue]

QUESTION:

What paint would I use to "white wash" my V20.

I have grown up around shrimp boats and shrimp docks my whole life. Every year the crew slaps on a new coat of paint covering everything from deck to sides to outriggers. I want to have that look on my boat. I am having a hardtop built complete with kayak racks on top. I plan on providing mothership trips to barrier islands for fishing and touring. I got my Captains License a month a go and have trips lined up for spring 2012.

Any ideas? I want to sand her down and "white wash" her. It doesn't make sense to spend 3-8 thousand on new paint and gel coat on a working boat.
