[Rhodes22-list] Paint questions

[mputnam1 at aol.com]

I asked Stan this very question recently.  I, too, have dark blue hull paint from my 2005 recycle.  I have some dings I want to sand out, and Stan sent me the info on the paint ... here's what he sent:
 
"company:     Alexseal   (we buy from Lewis Marine - if you can't find) 
type:         Premium To Coat 501
color:        587X  Flag  Blue"
 
Now, I, too, could use as much advice as possible about how one touches up paint on a hull.  I saw Ed's email on this subject.  For instance, what is the best method of applying the touch-up paint?  A small water-color sized paint-brush?
 
Thanks everyone,
 
- Mark

I sent an email to Stan last night before realizing that he was likely still
at the boat show.  Maybe someone on the list can help.

I want to find out the brand/type of paint Stan used on my boat when he
recycled her in 2003.  I picked up a few dings Saturday while hauling the
boat.  

Has anyone had experience buffing out paint scratches and/or using the type
of colored scratch removing compound sold for cars?  Will this work on the
paint Stan uses?  I would like to look at the manufacturers web site to see
what they say.

If touch up paint is required, I especially need the paint manufacturer info
to try and  match color.

I am not that handy with paint myself, but know some who are, so an opinion
of someone who has tried into the level of difficulty involved would be
useful.

Thanks
