Listers- I've come to the conclusion that Grenadine's hull is painted the same color as her original gelcoat (red). It appears a coat of grey primer was painted over the original gelcoat, then a layer of red paint was applied. I have no idea what kind of paint was used (is there a way to tell?) or when the boat was painted. What I do know is it's probably time to repaint. She oxidized pretty badly over the course of the summer, even though I buffed her three times with a 3M marine product, and waxed her with carnuba, before splashing her in the spring. She looked pretty good and shiny back then, but the summer sun took its toll.
So anyway, my question is, what wisdom might you listers have to impart, about the proper way to paint over a painted hull? Grenadine is on the hard for five months now, and I'm not afraid of hard work. Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Randy Stafford S/V Grenadine C&C 30-1 #7 (on the hard in) Ken Caryl, CO
