[/img]I just purchased a 2003 Baja 25 Outlaw and it has some fading on the stripes and in some places seems to be missing gel coat or it's really thin. Need advice on either:
1) getting the graphic size back in shape and looking good
2) getting a vinyl wrap for the boat. I was considering this to make my Baja u pie from all the others on the water
as always your advice is appreciated. I tried to upload a couple pics so if you zoom in you make be able to see the fading

I know this is probably late, but how did your project turn out? I have a 91 Baja 320 ES that I picked up last year. I had some severely faded and oxidized gel coat. Polish and buff did next to nothing. I went at it with a 6" DA and wet sanded. 600, 800 then 1000 grit. Took over 60 hours total but it got the job done. First time I took it out I was asked what year it was and received several compliments on it "Damn you got that boat looking right!" and "that looks like a new boat, it's how old?!?" It's a lot of work but certainly worth it. I've tried to attach some pictures but apparently I haven't had my 10 posts yet to put up a picture. Search flier for Robert_Sterling it should come up
