Mark,
I have a question because I am considering doing this myself. My boat has seen
32 years of sun and I know the recent years before I got her were filled with
neglect. I questioning your comment, "Mask so that the paint is on the fitting
vs leaving a piece of the deck not painted." What are the fitting "v's" and
what's the reason for leaving a piece of the deck not painted?

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 Id 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 isnt too
hot
Divide the job into manageable pieces
Mask so that the paint is on the fitting vs leaving a piece of the deck not
painted.
I didnt remove anything other than the hatches.
Id do it again. In fact if I was buying a boat today it is one of the first
things Id do to it.

Subject: catalina27-talk: Gelcoat Restoration
Can anyone recommend a product that would get the gelcoat on my boat to
look in better shape? 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!
