Going grey

Post by Fishhenge »

Last week I bought a very sound Picton speedboat on a solid trailer, complete with a pair of skis, for the princely sum of eighty two quid! I'm unlikely to finish my Dainty Miss in time for Cardiff, so it is my £82 plan B. Anyway, the Picton is blue, but the gelcoat has started to go a hazy grey colour and I was hoping to be able to polish it out with my trust buffing machine that I used to use to make my amateur resprays look presentable, and copious amounts of Tcut. Am I doing the right thing? Is there a better way (not a respray)? Will it ever rain again?
