Does anyone know what paint type/brand the factory was using in 1982? Thanks.

OK..... Mine is in good shape. If I don't have to strip I'd rather not. What can I use to go over it?

You would be better off to keep all your questions and the answers in your one thread as the subscribers will be notified when you make a post rather than having to check the SC forum for new threads.

I've not seen any boat paint job nearly 40 years old that is in good shape :lol:

By the time you sand the entire boat, feather out the scratches you would have the whole boat stripped, that's why most of us stripe them bare. That and having a 30 year old chalky base for fresh new paint doesn't set well either.
