Painted mine with Awlgrip and it's tough sh*t. After painting had the pulley come off whipple and pully didn't do any damage to paint. Was shocked. Friend had his painted with a emron came out nice also. Sorry haven't used either your asking about, figured I would share what products I have used.

Total boat and bilgekote will yellow in a couple years. I rolled and tipped awlgrip in mine also. In the past I’ve had pretty good luck with rustoleum with some hardener mixed in.

Same for Rustoleum and a hardener. It's important to make sure everything is clean and dry. And then again, make sure it's clean and dry. Any water left will create headaches.
