? about paint

all the fancy pinstriping down the side of my boat is all screwed up. thinking of removing it and painting a stripe. a big stripe, from about 4 inches above the water line up to the bottom of the rub rail. think i'll make her i real lite baby blue. what kind of paint should i use? was thinking of spray painting with fusion but i could use a friends bodyshop on a weekend if i need.
also, just gonna remove bow rail since its bent anyway. gotta fill the holes. how do i get paint to match? and will awlgrip work on the bow and topsides, or is it just for floors?tx guys
