Couldn't you bring that paint back to life with some rubbing compound and a orbital buffer? As long as the paint has enough thickness, I would think that would be worth a try - it would be a fairly cheap experiment, at least.
I have done amazing things I would have never thought possible with buffing compound. I just went out to look for a part#, but the label is long gone, but I am sure it was 3M somethingorother.

After good luck with repainting the boot stripe and my Dyer Dhow I decided to strip the transom and DIY repaint with Awlgrip. Apparently Awlgrip is roller/brush friendly. I will let you know how it turns out. David F.

I had used it to great effect on my previous boat, and when I bought this boat, the topsides were pretty sad and I got lots of compliments on the look after Poliglow treatment. Now, 5 years later, the boat really needs a new paint job. I decided new sails were more important, so putting that off for a few years. It looks fine from 100 ft. so hoping to be that far in front of the competition. Painting looks like a PITA job as DIY and expensive as professional. In the meantime, the reverse angle transom is really in bad shape- mottled and patchy in color presumably because it gets more sun. I took the Poliglow off with Poliprep and it still looks pretty bad. What would be the most aggressive thing to try on the Awlgrip to make it look better before reapplying Poliglow? I tried Poly-ox and that had little effect. I am guessing that there is nothing else to do at this point, but awaiting the wisdom of the list.
