Rod,
Whatever you go with, you need to make sure it will adhere to what you have or be ready to remove existing.  If you have ablative, you may have to go with ablative.  Here is WM's compatibility chart. - rob

Ron, thanks for the info. I have ablative but was considering a hard finish but the cleaning process is too expensive. 
Thanks

Some people prefer ablatives (I don't, I tried just on my tiller) and some prefer hard paints.  Any of the better brands.   The Interlux paints are pretty popular, I "think" that's what Stan uses.
