Paint and Graphics

I have access to a very good graphic artist. The problem is he is concerned that any paint he uses will not stick to the marine paint I planned to use on the bottom and sides of my Chesapeake 18. He suggested exterior house paint. Has anyone used this paint on a boat? Does it hold up well to abuse? Is it easily repaired? Does it affect the epoxy? Will it inhibit UV well enough? Have I asked enough questions? Thanks for your answers.

Already paddling my great new boat,

John
