I have a Hunter 26, bought it new in 94, I used the VC-17 for several reasons, there isn''t a paint that is going to resist scraping from repeated launches, VC-17 can be easily recoated, wipe the area with acetone or naptha, and use an airless sprayer to recoat, after it dries, buff it with a towel, you now have a teflon race finish and it really keeps the crud off.
