[C320-list] Hull paint quantity?

[wes.giles at averydennison.com]

When I owned hull #790, the same paint (petit) lasted four years from the 
time she was delivered until we had her hauled and painted. It was pretty 
thin at the leading edges, but other than that it held up great all over.

Just personal preference; nothing to do with performance.
