I'm about to refurbish an old and tired looking Starboard speed (wood version). It's the first time I've done this and it would great if I could have a few pointers.

the first thing i'll do Is remove the foot pads, sand smooth with an orbital sander.

what I'm unsure about is what type of paint to use. I planning on spraying it (rails too) in a dark blue. Is 1k Acrylic spray good and tough enough?

Or, am I better hand painting it with a top coat epoxy resin (with colour pigment added) the sanding it smooth? I was thinking this would be much tougher than acrylic spray paint.

Graphic and clear non non slip would added to finish it off.
