My once white foils have now had a few dinks and donks repaired with epoxy - any recommendations for paint for a quick re-spray? I was thinking about a standard car paint aerosol.

| IME Car paint is too fragile. I'd always shell out for two pot polyurethane from the specialist sailing paint folk. |

i use car paint out of an arosol and sand it down with fine wet and dry after to make sure its smooth. Foil paint doesnt reallyneed to last longer than 6 months as you will inevitably end up dinging (or snapping  ) them anyway.------------- |
