Before you start painting, try wet sandind the get coat strips and then wheeling with 3M FINESSE-IT. Brought my old dull 1985 hull back to like new color and shine. Did the entire hull.

My question about the boot stripes is about prep. My stripes are the original (gelcoat?) and badly faded/oxidized. I have three stripes, blue, blue and red. The red is actually vinyl tape and I've ordered one of those 3m stripe off wheels for that. The two blues are different, one lighter than the other. I'll be using brightside and 3m fine line tape and I will also use the primer. But how do I prep to ensure that there is no wax or residue before going on with the primer? The guy at the store told me to sand but I don't know about that. I'll do it if it's the correct course of action.

On that boat, there were parts of the stripe in the water most of the time, and every year much of the paint would come off when she got power washed in the fall. I spoke to the Interlux people and they said that no stripe paint on the market would stand up to being below waterline for any length of time. In response, I switched to vinyl tape. That was still going strong when I sold her 5 years later. I would definitely go the vinyl route again.

For six years it held up well and I had very few touchups. Then last year, I changed it to black and added two black vinyl tape stripes above it. I was redoing my PoliGlow, so removed most of that 1st. Then I simply sanded the flag blue boot stripe to provide tooth, 150, then 220, wiped with 202 I think, then painted a coat of brightside, lightly sanded with 320 and painted second coat. Why use tape? No wait for drying. Needs very small weather window. No need for second coat.

I can easily touch up any scars in the bootstripe each spring and PoliGlow does an amazing job of making the touchups blend and it all looks brand new. I don't see the value in the two part paints as they need measuring and mixing and if you add a flattener, it's a two part flattener, making it a four part paint. I remember reading somewhere that Interlux recommends using their single part paints for high traffic areas or places that might get scraped, anywhere you expect to be touching up now and then. It's so easy to just open a can of brightside and pour a thimble full in a plastic cup and dab on a bit of paint and throw away the brush and cup.

Did you ignore that (as I would)? Other than mixing it, is there any difference in the application process?
