There was a "survey" (more like an actual scientific experiment) done a few years back that involved actual testing of samples in several different locations. It might have been Sail magazine, but I am not sure. Anyway some of the paints were better than others, as one would expect, but the real take away for me was the huge difference in performance that some had in one location verses another. To be sure paint preference is a personal choice, but it is also a site specific choice, and whatever the locals are using would always be a good start.

Surveys are so subjective. It's like GEICO advertising a 97% satisfaction rating. Is that current policyholders? Google "GEICO complaints" and see what that brings up. :) I've used Micron CSC and Baltoplate on Touche' and like both. Balto is faster; CSC required less maintenance. Not surprising because that's their primary attributes, slipperyness or sluffing. Dennis C.
