Boat
gelcoat fading
Your boat has a
predator out there... it is the elements! And more than the elements
overall, the sun is your worst enemy. Gelcoat surfaces don't
stand up too well against the harmful rays of the sun. Though
you may not be able to see it immediately, your boat begins the fading
process the first day it spends out under the sun.
What can be done?
Your front line defense for
protecting your boat from damaging sunlight is a good wax that has UV
inhibitors in it. Keep your boat waxed several times per season
and you will do a great deal in protecting it. Of course, over
time you will still see some fading, but it won't be nearly as bad.
But what if it's already
faded badly?
If your boat is already
faded badly, all is not necessarily lost. All is not lost anyway
no matter what, but there are several things that can be done to
restore a boat's surface.
Color restoration can be a
little time consuming, and may cost a bit but there is hope. Our
process of bringing a boat back to it's original color works very well
on nearly all jobs. We do not recommend that you go out and buy
the color restorer products that are on the market today. These
products can do more harm than good, and few, if any work. Once
your boat is faded out, there is no replacement for the proper
procedure. We will be glad to get your boat back to where it
belongs the right way. Once the boat is restored, it will only
be a simple matter of regular maintenance.
There are some boats out there
that have had their surfaces worked and worked so much that there is
little left of the gelcoat surface. These boats need to be
regeloated or painted. But most typically, your boat can be
restored. We do free estimates and free consulting, so if you
would like us to take a look at your boat's fading problem and go over
it with you then give us a call. You can also order our Gelcoat
color restoring ebook to learn our tactics and give it a try for
yourself. http://www.fiberglass-boat-repair.com/gelcoat_color_restoring_ebooks.html
