My boat looks like it has fiberglass dippings or whatever on the back swim platform.. I can't get it off and its tuff stuff.

Is there any kind of spray paint with i guess sand inside the paint to cover it up..Obviously i'd tape everything off and do the entire platform. Thanks

If your finish is gelcoat Acetone will not hurt it.

Have you tried a pressure washer ? or bleach.

Looks like algae to me.

And no spray paint allowed on your boat ;) .

YD.

Bad on me, I was assuming from the pic that it was Gel Coat. If it is Plastic then yes the Acetone would NOT be good.

Its not algae..its some hard resin.. i tried x-14 it faded a bit.. Pressure washing seems like a good idea..Should of thought of that..Thanks for the help
