SeaFoam looks the very best !
Very, very clean looking... if I was to repaint, it would be my first choice of color...

Looks smooth wait until you get the rubrail on that makes the difference. Did you spray it with an HVLP gun or something else?

Where did you spray it if you don't mind me asking? I have been pondering building some kind of tent out of pipes and tarps to spray mine because the garage is off-limits.

Yes I sprayed it with 2 different HVLP guns the bottom I painted with a bottom feed gun the top I painted with a gravity feed gun. I sprayed the entire boat at my house with the final top coat I sprayed in a shop where my brother-in-law works, his boss was kind enough to let us use his shop. If I didn't spray it inside this time of year all the bugs would have been attracted to the wet paint. Here are more pictures of the boat with the rub rail.
