Last summer we bought an older J22 for racing and worked on it over the winter. We decided to refinish the entire hull and refair it. But, we made a mistake in having the boat repainted instead of working with the Gelcoat that was there. The paint does chip and cannot be "brought back to life". I'm sorry we did it. I've seen catamarans painted and they look good from far, but the finish is less than acceptable. I've always done better with the rubbing and buffing.

I'm going to try that new procuct on the 2 Hobie Cats in my life. I certainly would never paint them.
