I've decided that after years of a "Smokey" effect blue hull, which I beleive is the outcome of salt and UV damage to her original 1978 Blue GRP hull, I'm going to paint her for shallow aesthetic reasons/the misses wants me to paint her.
I'm very much looking for advice and help on what I should do. After looking at the major paint providers websites and leaflets I'm still a little inbetween what I need to do. Some say sand then wash, then sand then wash and maybe once more for luck before applying an undercoat then topcoat (for which I've chosen the same colour for ease). Is this correct or do I need to do something else with the gelcoat?
Many thanks for reading and I'm hoping somebody should be able to help!
Many thanks,
Alasdair
