Flatacraft deck paint recommendations

I'm about to paint the deck on my little Flatacraft Force4 but I'm not sure what paint/epoxy to use. Can anyone recommend a tough paint? It's painted badly in what looks like gray primer at the moment.

Is it definitely paint? Gel coat is the most durable in my opinion but won’t go over paint Unless you remove all traces via sanding or acetone.

Anything water based will probably suffer with long term immersion and fail in a well like it seems you have.

Old review but still valid. https://www.pbo.co.uk/event/beaulieu...nts-test-17514
