Thanks.  Most of what I'd found using those terms seemed to be surface 
prep and pre-paint treatment.  I may be opening myself up to one of 
those projects where just spraying with Rustoleum barbecue paint would 
have been cheaper and less time consuming that trying to do it right.

Someone from another list suggested that I check some marine hull 
restoration places and suggested a paint / coating specialist down 
somewhere in Kansai -- he thought they were in one of the prefectures 
along Seto Naikai.  The lead provided was insufficient to just look them 
up online or call them.  If I find their name, I can let others know.
