I haven’t read the entire thread and all the replies, but if you haven’t already tried a couple of grades of compound to get through the top layer of gel coat oxidation, I would think that would be a good first pass. I’ve always been surprised at the results of this, and you might find it. It’s enough to keep you happy.

It can be repaired. The factory rep recommended it over Awlgrip even for professional use. I’m very happy with it.

I did Nina in the same fashion. If youre on Instagram my ID is: nina1980cc I documented the bottom job and hull at the same time. Roll n tip is an art. Brian W Davis Consulting Inc.

If you’re a DIY-er, then Awl Grip is very easy to work with. It’s all about the prep, then you can roll and tip and it will look sprayed from 6’ away.

I have a 30 C&C, Flag Blue hull, with years of Polyglow on it. When I bought the boat, the gelcoat was near "dead", and PolyGlow did bring it back. That said, a good paint job in my area starts at $600 to$700 a foot, and while I am tempted to attempt DIY painting, the fact that I have no climate control capability keeps me using Poly. Sorry I don't have better info for you. Good Luck! Pete W. Siren Song C&C 30 II Irvington, Va.

It’s had Polyglow coatings that have been stripped off (with floor stripper) and reapplied in the past. Any suggestions going forward? Strip again? Something else? TIA.
