I agree with Patrick, IF you are just wanting to darken the lines,
the little paint striping tool is the best. We just finished all the lines on Hanalei--bought the striping tool at JC Whitney and it is available online-- http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/ProductDisplay/s-10101/storeId- 10101/p-3196/c-10101/catalogId-10101 Make sure you buy the kit 2- stripe kit (ZX155343B). You can combine the assortment of small brass wheels to be exactly the width of your deck lines. The kit also comes with an extra bottle, which is handy. I used Pettit Easypoxy 1-part Polyurethane paint (Bittersweet brown) which is available at West Marine and elsewhere and was happy with it. Use a squeeze bottle, like a dish detergent bottle to refill it. I used the helpful advice from Ann and Ralph on SM#160 Harmonie posted on September 6, 2003. Preparation of the grooves by sanding, etc. according to the instructions on the paint is important. In addition to the "2 stripe tool", I would add one ingredient to their instructions--a money hungry college kid who will work for $9/hour. Total labor cost was $440 (I supplied the knee pads).
