Looking to paint my v-20 cuddy.

I wasn't going to weigh on on this, but here goes. I think I know something about escalating. :D If you're going to paint the entire boat, might as well explore your options. That being said, and this is only my personal preference, I like white or something very close to it. I chose to go with an off-white, kind of cream color, very close to what the new Gradys are painted. Didn't want to get radical, but wanted to cut some of the glare of white in the strong southern sun. 8) Nothing is as bright as brand new white paint. If you change from white to anything else, I think awlgrip is a must because it stands up to abuse without chipping, and thereby exposing the white underneath. Just my two cents worth.
