Painting your boat

[pair of jacks]

Ok, so my SeaCraft is 14 yrs old and looks great- I know 14 compared to many boats on this site is considered an infant but after years of wet sanding the color (fighting lady yellow) is almost gone in some places. Within a year or two I'm considering having the boat painted- would keep the same color. So I know absolutely nothing about what I should be asking or be aware of about having my boat professionally painted- so educate me please! Thanks
