Painting deck of 23 Tsunami

Does anyone have any suggestions on what paint to use on the deck of my 23 Tsunami? Does one color or brand of paint cover better? And how much paint will cover my deck? Thanks

i did mine with gelcoat. However, i would use Awlgrip. you can look them up in Yahoo.

I think a two part Urethane like Awlgrip, Imron, and others are your best bet.

I've decided that i'm going to paint my 23 Tsunami,both the hull and deck,with Epifanes two part urethane.

I just sprayed my outdrive with it and was amazed with the shine and the durability of it.
It's chemically about the same as Duponts Imron paint,but is a bit less costly.It works well either sprayed,or rolled and tipped.

I actually sprayed the outdrive with a preval spray jar,and wasn't very fussy with the application,as it's an older drive,and had some pitting,but the finish,although rough where it was pitted,was very good.

I've sprayed a couple aluminum boats in the past with Sunfire two part urethane,made by Sherwin Williams automotive division,and also had excellent results with that product as well.
