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.


Then just paint the red part with awlgrip.


I wouldn't paint it until I'd tried to deoxidize the damn thing.


I have used the 3M Ultra Heavy Duty Rubbing Compound using a
machine.....it did very little.....

Im almost ready to " wet-sand " it with 1000 grit.


If that didn't work, then maybe sanding and painting is the way to go. If you sanded it and masked
it, I wonder what MAACO would charge to paint it. Might be worth taking a photo down to them to see
what they say. If it's sanded, primed, and painted, I'd think it might last a good while.
