I used high build primer on the exterior. 2 coats of Interlux Epoxy primcote and painted with perfection 2 part poly paint. There was some spider cracks which i ground out the big ones and left some of the small ones. i also read that you can use high build but also read that if you don't repair the damaged gelcoat the cracks will eventually come back. I spent most of the winter researching paint and repairs and could not find if that high build would hold up to spider cracks over time. You probably need about 5 coats of high build if you don't want to do other repairs.

I will keep an eye on the different repairs i have done. I hope to be in the water in the next month!

BTW -I used Pettit Easypozy 2 and the recommended primer on the interior and i liked the Interlux primer much better.
