Next, a different grit to get the rest of the paint off, then it's
sanding and coating with some kind of new vinyl ester paint - supposed
to be better than gel coat.

WHOO HOO!!

Now the hull will be all white - like real boats should be. :)

Tell me more about the vinyl ester paint. Better than gel coat how?
And how is it applied?

To be honest, I don't even know if it's vinyl ester - that's what I
think he said when I asked about having the old paint taken off and
replaced or even re-gel coated and return the hull to all white. It
could be something different. I'll ask again though.

As to application, it's sprayed, sanded, sprayed again then finish
sand, polish with Finesse-It II - presto, back to normal.
