I have an older Grady in the Classic Grady color. My way better half likes the Ocean Mist color to the point she's ready to get a new boat. Does anyone have any experience with painting their hull to one of the new colors that Grady offers? I'm not springing for a new boat just for the color, but I'd consider a paint job if feasible. Thanks!

Is your boat currently painted - or gelcoat? "Classic" color would be white - which is not paint.
I've done some small boats and used EasyPoxy - but something larger and where you want it to be extra good, you'll probably want a 2-part like AwlGrip. I haven't personally used this - but something along those lines is what you're looking for. But, that's not to say that Easypoxy wouldn't work - it is easier to touch up down the road.
As with anything, prep prep prep.

The rest of us are like "your wife wants a new boat and it's the husband saying no"? I just wept a little, my wife gets upset if I buy the expensive kind of boat soap.
