Boat Paint
I am building a drift boat and have decided on a using paint rather than a varnish finish. I need a durable finish and am leaning toward a two part epoxy rather than a one part product. The cost of a two part is double the cost of a single part. Is it two times better? Also some comments on experience with brands and products would be helpful.

If you're worried about abrasion, then a good two-part paint will be tougher. If you're worried about fading then stick with light colors over dark colors.
If you ARE using a two-part paint, be sure to use pressurized respirator if spraying. There are serious toxins in the two-part paints.
If you want to use paint that is cheap, fade resistant, easy to apply and touch up, consider latex. Read more in this thread: http://woodenboatblog.com/node/173
