need some advice on refinish of transom

redoing my champion transom with seacast, want to paint or something to cover the hole patches and such that will be done.
what do y'all recommend, have even considered lineX or some bed coating.

There is a multitude of solutions to a paint job . One is the use of Rustolium and a Cad hardner. 2. Brightside boat paint, 3. Easy Poxy boat paint (one is made by Petit and the other by Interlux) 4. Top Secret boat paint, 5. Truck and Van spray paint with a Clear Laquer top coat (Rattle Cans) 6. Line-X, 7. Gelcoat. All of which will work. Just gets down to how much money you want to spend and how much time do you want to invest. My preferance is Bright Side, Easy Poxy, or Top Secret. Easy on, one coat coverage, can be applied by brush, roller, or spray, Either of which will give a professional finish without all the hassel.
