The idiot that uses Rust Oleum on his fiberglass boats when they need refinishing is me. I've won four Windmill National Championships with boats painted thusly. No special prep needed. Sands out to a REALLY high polish with the usual work and takes whatever polish (not wax) you choose. I like it because it is relatively cheap, readily available and can be touched up when dinged.
