Painting boats whilst at sea

[drivin_me_nuts]

.. You can't seem to be able to watch an old film about a navy without seeing a shot of a group of (mostly curmudgeonly) chaps painting the deck or sides. Does it still happen, or has paint technology now moved to the point where this task has been consigned to history (and the movies).
