Default Best paint for bildge?????

What is the best paint with the least amount of prep work required for the bildge???? I realize without prepping it will not be a show piece, but my bildge was never prepped so it is a raw glass texture..........

Does it come out pretty decent when you brush it? Where is the best place to get it?

you can spray the gelcoat also. Thin it down with styrene. and then spray it through a 1.0 tip. comes out gorgeous.

Awlgrip cleans up much better / easier.

All the big sportfish companies have been using Awlgrip in the engine room for years.

GEL COAT WITH AWLGRIP OVER IT. THE BEST WAY TO GO. RAW G/C WILL HOLD DIRT. DO IT ONCE DO IT RIGHT.
