Not sure on paint, just be sure to keep those away from forklifts

Ready for the boating season yet?

check to see if it is rated below the water line, most are not, epoxy paint is some great stuff it will hold up great

Personelly, I prefer the IMRON way vs powder coating. Here in the salt water enviroment corrosion is inevitable. IMRON is alot easier and less expensive to refinish long term. 7 years ago I did my cig & still looks good. Holds out much better than the stock merc paint.
