Third, you continue to impress me with your knowledge of things other than burnout 70's and early 80's rock bands.

Any start on that boat yet?

Bring in a porta-john for the wife and pick up some wrenches man! Her bathroom can wait (another couple years. ).

I'm not just another pretty face Rip.

Bathroom is done, a portion of it needs carpet (rest is tile). Carpet guys will do that. Sooooooo, it's on to the boat now, YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to tear them babies down. Gotta make a little call to Too Old and get some parts on order.

Wasn't Dukenrock's fault,the name was already on it when he bought the 382. The new "Twisted Pair" will, I'm sure, be in Vinyl.

I sanded mine off when I did the repaint. I also had to primer, and block sand, and primer and block sand, about 3 - 4 times until I was satisfied. Then when I painted it, I found a couple of minor spots where I STILL didn't do a good enough job. Whatever you do, be sure to cover it up with another name, preferrably a bigger name.

boats that are trailered and stored, or boathoused generally suffer very little from the "name remains the same" problem.

It's the UV everywhere but for the most part for both, and some chemical interaction with gel for the paints, accelerated by UV.

You won't have to do more than a cleaner/wax that area on Kevin's after the paint removal unless...it sat outside in AZ.

It's pretty hard to hurt gel chemically. I'd go for the soaking with a rag with acetone to soften it and then scrape it away with a plastic/rubber window tinting or vinyl sqeegee.

I've never heard of the Easy Off bit, but I'll bet it works...I would just start with very thin use, or just one letter to see how much is required...sneak up on it.

I've seen some nicely painted names, but I will be doing binyl on this one.

Is binyl hard to get rid of when you're done with it?

Like a Mennonite babe?
