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.

Interesting, I'll have to look into it. Do you have a brand name yet?

No, but I do know it's an Interlux product. Something new they are
getting ready to promote this coming season.

Maybe Chuck knows what it is and has a product release.

They have been using it for laminating and finish at LBI industries in
Groton CT. for a long time. The owner (Pete??) knows his **** and
everything they sell, they use. If you have any questions, you could
probably give this guy a call, or SW could take a quick trip down and
see him. Um, his name is Pete Legnos, should be listed as LBI,or
Legnos Boat... Last I knew they had some third party webad, but they
could have a site by now...
