I'm with Reel on this one. No direct experience with that paint, but it sounds pretty good. Pics when you have them please. For removal of the old paint before you repair I'd recommend soda blasting. Yes, you can use chemicals, etc to get it off, but nothing is as fast and safe as soda blasting IMHO.

Have you thought of blasting the hull with crushed pecan or walnut shells?

I have not, it was my understanding soda was the best method. I have not heard much about other blasting methods. Do you have some input on the matter?
