paint questions

[prlentz]

My boat has a west system bottom and I am looking at repainting. Is there anything special that I need to do or type of paint. I am new to this . The bottom is green but correct is red . 1938 sportsman 15.5 . I will be trying to get it as close to the right colors as possible is there a chris craft pms color ? Also how do you paint a boat bottom if it is on a trailer and I don't have an over head lift ? I am sure that there is a clever way to make this work and not have to leave bunk placement unpainted .

No...if its been painted before....paint away!

2 giant saw horses. Locate over lifting eyes.
First lift tounge of trailer as high as possible. Tie front lifting eye to front giant horse. Lower tounge.
Block up small hydraulic pump jack to keel/transom point. Jack up boat and tie rear lifting eye to rear giant horse.

What brand or type of paint is recommended ? Also how do I find the right color of red for 1938 ? Appreciate the tip on how to lift the boat to paint without an overhead hoist. Thanks for all the help
