Exterior Paint Question


Recommended Posts

The blue paint on my boat had a problem with oxidation, the previous owner parked it outside for the past four years. I used the 3M rubbing compound and buffed the boat today. I followed it up with NuFinsh wax. The boat shines but it's not as bright as I wanted. Aside from new paint what could I do to get a rich shiny paint look back.

there's not a whole lot you can do aside from painting/clear coating the finish. your present finish is failing , as the sun and the atmosphere eat at the paint it fails , not enough UV protection , waxing will help prevent it from failing sooner, you will have to do this every 30-60 days to make it last .. or you could re-clear it , (almost the same as painting.) But if you go to this point you should just repaint it and then add a good clear coat.

Are you graphics fading? . what color is you boat? Most boats are white, are your stripes fading ? Can you show us a picture?
