Can anyone confirm if the boot stripe is painted or gelcoat?
Mine is navy blue and faded and I'd like to polish it. Any advice?
The inlaid S2 7.9 logo is also a bit stained. Any advice on brining back the white gelcoat colour within the logo?
Thanks!

Whatever you might use on your car. Gelcoat is softer than auto paint so use a little caution.

Re: Boot Stripe Polish
late to the party here I know, but its gelcoat.
you can polish it until you turn (blue, or red, or green whichever it is)... I know because I did. I had to regelcoat the entire side of 68, prior owner dragged it across a concrete barrier at a gas station, it didn't match.
but boat polished up nicely. I am answering this thread in case anyone else asks.
I added a set of pinstripes back to the boat for the cove stripe.
