I am replacing the windows on my boat and the surround of the windows was painted brown. While scraping the silicone down the paint has come off in areas so I would like to repaint but am not sure which one to use.
 
You mean the acrylic was painted and got scratched?In that case ,as I found out ,the best paint is aerosol paint like the ones you can get from car repair shops .It sticks beautifuly to acrylic even without sanding.
 
No, I've taken the windows off because a few were cracked and past it. The windows extend past the openings and the coachroof is painted behind the windows to blend in with the tinted windows.
 
You can have acrylic two pot paint made to the right colour and brush it on, then.The possible problem with silicone,if that's what was there ,is that paint won't stick unless you perfectly clean and degrease the surface.
