Latex paint update

Last year, I posted about painting my CP19s deck, cabin house and cockpit with exterior semi-gloss 100% acrylic housepaint.
Now, nearing the end of the second season, I'm happy to report that the paint has exceeded all my expectations. I've included a link to a dropbox folder which shows a couple of pix of my sliding hatch and one of the port cockpit locker lid which is the point of entry to the boat.

I've climbed on and off the boat for two seasons wearing work boots mostly and I took a photo of the grime on the locker top which is the first place you step when you get on the boat. I took a rag and spray cleaner and cleaned a small portion to see how the paint held up. The sliding hatch also gets a fair amount of foo  traffic during sail handling and it came through looking like new. See for yourself.
