I got the primer at Templeton R A Ltd in St. John's (pic posted with name of product on it) and the olive drab paint was purchased in Lewisport Hunting Store (they have none left in stock). the paint they had was clumped and I had to take it out of the can, mix it around and bring it to a paint shop to be shaken. They did give me a good price on it. That was the only place on the Island I could find this paint in a quart can. Spray cans are not cheep andyou may need 30 of 40 I would think to do your boat.
Check out the links below on the process, I hope it helps...

That looks great!!!
I think I'll do the same with my boat.
Where did you get the paints and what is the process to preping and getting the boat ready?
