Mast paint.
HI Mike: WOW! hull #7 Now that is classic. If the paint is worn or scratched down to bare metal, I would recommend you sand the area you are going to paint, lightly and prime bare spots with zinc chromate primer.I like one part polyurthene paints like Petit Easypoxy. Comes in a varity of colors, and you can roll it on and then "kiss' it with a good bristle brush while still wet and the results will look like you sprayed it on. You might test a small area before you start, to assure old and new paint are compatable. They should be ok, but better to test first. Supplies should be available at any West Marine or Boats US.Good Luck, Dave
