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 !!!!

----------------------------------
Cheaper than that by at least 50%. I think Ford was the first one to use
the stuff. Could not touch up a small area. I think the secret is
magnetized metal flakes that line up on end so the angle of viewing gets
different colors.


It's not real flakey like I expected it to be.
