Very nice! Where do I park my Boat for a wax job???


At your local Maaco shop


Can they buff out the faded gelcoat..... The guy who sold me the Boat
4 years ago, listed the color as " brown ". It's SUPPOSED to be " Snap-
On Toolbox Red ".....lol. All top deck surfaces are a kind of " Salmon
" color......


People up here want 20 bucks a foot....... If I get this
right....that's about *$400.00


Maybe you should paint it.


A friend suggested that, but what would you use? Its fiberglass, and
I've been told once you DO paint it, it`ll flake after a few years and
you`ll be painting it again, and again. The white parts are fine, it`s
just the red parts that have SEVERE oxidization.

--------------------------------------
good paint job should not flake off. *Look at Corvettes and lots of high end
yachts are painted. *My aluminum boat went 15 years before it was repainted.
But your older fiberglass boat is probably not worth dropping a lot of money
in to it.


Ya, Buddy who suggested painting it has owned several fiberglass
Vettes. He told me about a " flex-agent" or some special stuff to put
in the paint .

Awlgrip listed at $295.00 per gallon....US. I dont know the price over
here, but found a couple Dealers within a 60 mile radius of me.

Then, he showed me " Chameleon Paint"....this stuff is WILD !!!! Its
about a thousand a gallon......... The optical effect off of it is too
crazy to even describe. Google it....it'll blow you away !!!!
