If you're planning on basing the entire boat all white I think you're on the money for a quality job. Prep is the devil on these boats, and a lot can be saved or spent dependening upon how much you want the boat derigged. A couple words of advice.

- I love the paint on my boat but having a painted boat including deck is a pain in the ass. Be prepared to have towels ready cleaning your feet before you even step foot on the deck

- even though it seems like a ton of work remove the windshield, dash and combing panels so you can paint down behind them, you will NOT be happy with a paint white to gel white transition

I have a 99' that's currently all white but faded from the years in sun, would really like it to look like new again. Would you suggest a color over all white?

You may be able to buff it and bring it back to like new, or wet sand and then buff. Could be a decent winter project to save yourself some coin. Decent dewalt variable speed is around $300-$400 i believe.

I agree. If it is just faded I would try wet sanding and buffing as you have nothing to lose.
