After 30 years in the sun it is time to ... Paint !
I painted with Toplac single part paint. (I was chicken when it came to using 2 part paint) I think if I was doing it again I'd use 2 part paint. All the hard work pays off. Advise. Do it early in the springtime before there are any bugs and the sun isn't too hot Divide the job into manageable pieces Mask so that the paint is on the fitting v's leaving a piece of the deck not painted. I didn't remove anything other than the hatches. I'd do it again. In fact if I was buying a boat today it is one of the first things I'd do to it.

I don't think she's been painted since 1978, and while I have that planned for later in the year, I was hoping to find something to at least make her look better while sitting in the boat slip. I've heard to apply different compounds, wax, restorers, etc...I'm confused - what works best? Thanks!
