I have what used to be a 74 starcraft. It has been gutted and converted into a center console. Who knows how many times it has been repainted. I did it once myself . I used concrete paint i got from home depot on the gunnels and inside, Some type of selfleveling marine paint on the upper outside. And gel coated the bottom. I sanded everything and preped as best i could, everything was brush painted.* When I*did it is was peeling really bad, because one of the lower white paints was turning loose. It looked ok for a while but still continued peeling. Except for the bottom where I did the gel coat still looks pretty good.
I am ready to try again and the thing is in full peel. I borrowed a electric*pressure washer from a friend and it took off some but once it dried it all lifted and you can still just flake away at it. I havea 20 foot boat, that is alot of picking. Can I use a higer pressure on tghe fiberglass or do I have to be careful with the pressure washer??? It all needs to come off if I ever want new paint to stay. Do I have to use stripper? Can I use stripper on it??*Not unless there is some super*miracle paint out there.
Thanks fo`r any help you can offer!!
