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

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.

Have you tried 'Finess It' or another oxidation remover on the bad part?

If the coating is intact I would probably just buff the pink and protect
it with wax or whatever and be good with it...

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