We contracted with Mark Barry-Cotter at Bayview Slipway, and he hired someone called Tom to
paint our boat (strip planked wrc, and
epoxy and glass in and out). Used automotive LPU. Has kept its gloss quite well. All in all, a very satisfactory experience, but you have to find somewhere to stay, can't live on the boat while the work's being done, but can do parallel jobs on it during
work hours, as appropriate.

PS. Noakes has a good reputation. Some friends had a steelie with old LPU repaired, and they were able to do it so it didn't show.
