Hi, I have a 12ft Cadillac aluminum V-bottom boat and I'm wanting to paint it and set it up for duck hunting. My original idea was to coat the outside of it in Herculiner roll on bedliner to keep it from getting dinged and banged, and then painting over it. However after figuring up how much this paint job will cost, I was wondering if any of you would know of a good type of paint that I could use, that would prevent scratches and dents, or if what I had planned would be a good choice. Also if I did paint my boat with that bedliner, do you think it would cause too much drag? Thanks for any help.
