Dykem blue dye is the way to go when fairing, as the lows become very obvious and it will not clog abrasives like spray paint. It is best to thin it out around 8 or 10:1 with denatured alcohol when fairing hullsides, as it stretches the dye a long way and is easier to wipe on with a rag in an even fashion. You want it to wipe on a royal blue rather than the deep purple if you use unthinned blue dy. Buy the small bottle and a gallon of denatured alcohol, and you will have plenty.
