Boat painting (custom color)

[thefuture]

I am about to paint my boat. I have in the past painted two boats with a petit product that i rolled and tiped. With a lot of prep work and sanding i really like how this turned out. This boat on the other hand is a bit bigger and i am hoping for great results. I have a person who is excellent with a spray gun and will most likely require his assistants. My questions are first, I want the boat to be a specific color. What kinds of paints can i use that i could have custom mixed to my specific color. Second question is one in the same. I had a person who claimed to have painted boats before tell me that with alot of cars being fiberglass these days that there is no reason not to use automotive paint. they can obviously handle some flexing and being out in the sun alot. Does anyone have anymore recomendations?

I believe they do mix custom colors. Give them a call, chances are very good you'll end up talking to George Kirby.
