Ok, so I've decided to remove the side rail panels from the boat and bring them home to paint the carver badges. Jim, what kind of clear poly did you paint yours with? I would think regular clear lacquer would not hold up well, especially here in Florida-repainted cars with clear coat last only a year or two before wholesale failure even with frequent waxing. Is there a better sealer to use that might hold up better in a marine environment? Also, the side panels themselves-are they fiberglass with a gel coat finish? The surface of mine do not seem to be gelcoat, unless it is very oxidized and worn, it looks to be a painted surface. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I've never tried to buff them out to see. Does anyone know whether they can be revived with some finessit II and wax?
