How often were U-Boats repainted?

I noticed how clean/relatively unscarred U-96 was at the start of Das Boot, and had a pretty clear and smooth coating on its surface. I know this was right at the start of U-96's seventh patrol, so maybe they were repainted every patrol? Just seemed odd that it looked so brand new.
