    I'm looking into buying a 9.5ft GRP row boat which needs a lick of paint. Totally new to the whole boating thing (have just bought a Loynes 30 to live on and am learning the ropes slowly but surely!) so I'm not sure of the best paint to use.

    Would I need to prep it in any way? Is there any particular paint that should be used? I want to paint both the inside (incl. the seats) and the outside preferably. Failing that I'd at least want to paint a name on it with a view to painting the outside another time.

    Any advice would be gratefully received.
