It's a lot of work to do a full-on gloss finish. Seems like you're trying to do a good, durable job, but not necessarily look for factory perfect. If I have that right, you may wish to follow your fairing efforts with a good primer, followed by a hard epoxy antifouling such as Pettit Vivid or Unepoxy. We have used the latter for years in Maine and it holds up well to trailering. Our boat spends 4 months in the water each year and the rest on a trailer, and we recoat every two years.

A number of people have mentioned getting the Vivid tinted to match their hull color, and that may also be a good choice for you.

If you go to Pettit's website there is a ton of information. For your situation the Pettit Protect high build primer may be a good choice, but that's just going on what they say, have not used it myself.

You do not want an ablative paint - don't need the antifouling and it wears off on the trailer bunks.
