          Hello Larry

          Is your intention to completely strip the paint and start again or to touch up the odd few pieces?

            Good morning Paul,

            Just improve the paint finish , so just remove the shiney toy look and get the true

            color scheme , it dont look right to me , like my boats to have seen some service,

            but still the grandson thinks its the dogs dodas………Larry…

                  The problem is that there are so many different colour schemes kicking around.

                  I guess its really down to your preference but my twopence worth would be to repaint the deck in grey and loose some of the white in the stern well.
