I guess I have to leave the old graphics on the sides. I don't have the money to repaint the hull for this season so the lettering lives another season. I was told that the shadowing from the lettering will be visible no matter how much wet sanding and buffing I do. So they stay, unless everyone on here kicks a few bucks my way for new paint.

Just spent the day wet sanding and buffing my a$$ off. I pulled a small section of the graphics off and couldn't get the shadow underneath to go away. So I wet sanded the entire hull and buffed, buffed and buffed some more. Buffers get heavy after a couple hours of holding the up and out... Just saying!!!
