Tom, I actually painted the boat, T7152, Pearl Grey..Laura wanted to mix it up a little bit from standard Catalina 'white', but I didn't want it too obscenely dark, for several reasons (every scuff, hot, flaws, etc.)

I am wondering if maybe the T9129 Stark White might have just enough yellow in it for Catalina white. My boat was always so chalky and crazed since I owned it, I just kept it clean with ON/OFF Hull Cleaner and bleach and never bothered to wax it to make the inevitable paint job easier by not having to strip.

I have done some deck work in T9134 Snow White, and it is VERY white! I like that nice white for the smooth deck/cabin areas. For the non-skid (mine is a bit beige) I plan to do in a lighter shade of grey from the pearl, maybe Matterhorn, so it is not hot in the summer, but compliments the hull color.

The picture below has the 442 primer above the rub rail..anytime I had some left over, I painted between the stanchions and rub rail, to save me a little trouble later on..it is not shiny, but rather matte, and is a slight off white, to give perspective to the hull color. And although this is a terrible perspective, the white where the windows are on the cabin are the Snow White T9134 discussed earlier, but applied 5 years ago with no buffing or waxing since (lazy!! )...also keep in mind, this is a cell phone pic from a floating boat.
