The paint used was....
Wliko multi surface enamel (Antique White Gloss)
Plasti-Kote Fast Dry Enamel
(Gloss Black 101s)
(Garden Green 104s)
(Clear 119s)
The varnish used to seal the timber was Rustins Poly mixed 50/50 with white spirit.

P.S. Try not to paint out doors in the rain it spoils the finish.   Embarassed

It was "duck" low tack tape.   Very Happy  Laughing
The rest was masked off with paper.
I also used the old trick of sticking it down on a dusty surface a couple of times, before sticking it down on the boat.
Hope that helps.
