Reverse the effects of bottom painting?
 

When I first bought my boat I had it bottom painted after a few weeks cause I was keeping it docked all summer. For the last few years I've been towing it and I want to know if you guys/gals know of anyway to get that gel coat smoothness back to the bottom of the boat...like it was before I painted the bottom. Is there anyway to put a coat of wax over the bottom paint to smooth it out...or is this a lost cause? Any other idea's would be much appreciated.

There is a way to get the paint off, it is called Media Blasting. They basically use a sand blasting machine with a media that is softer than the gelcoat so it does not harm it but harder than the bottom paint so it gets it off. I dont know the cost but I have seen the results and it is incredible. I dont know if it will be be "Brand new shiny" but it gets the bottom paint fully off. Good luck!

Thanks Ggrims. I'll do some research on media blasting and might give it a shot at the end of the season.
