sonic paint problem ?
 

I have an 02 31 sonic that is in fresh water . I keep it in for 2weeks at a shot and pull and clean it . there are 3 colors on this boat yellow, black + blue. and all go under the water line . why is my yellow paint starting to pimple ?this also happened on my 1998 26 sonic on the yellow only. Called lenny at sonic and they won't have anything to do with this problem because the boat was built in 02 and he did'nt own the company back then! any suggestions on what to do ? I love this boat and this is it's only problem.

Paint really isn't designed to be left underwater. Automotive paint anyways. Most boats are painted with automotive finishes. Have the repair made by someone who does marine paint jobs. Good Luck

Had mine repainted with Awlgrip, spent two summers wet and still looks good

It's true...most paint-jobs(custom graphic ones, anyway), are done with a high quality automotive base coat/clearcoat system. High gloss and quick drying, with very easy repairability. They'll stay beautiful for years on your Jag or Beemer....underwater, mmm, not so much. The Awlgrip and Imron type marine products are designed more for a complete hull color type application. Unfortunately, they're a littler harder to do spot repairs on when you get dings and scrapes. Color selection may be a little more problematical as well.
