I'm just about to purchase a 1989 Z25 in the UK and am thinking about repainting the hull over the winter. It has several poorly repaired areas of cosmetic damage to the gel coat (presumably from being taken on/off the trailer in a hurry). It is currently part original gel coat and part painted. I have a couple of questions:
1. Can I get original replacement decals from Donzi in the US and if so will they ship to the UK ? The appointed UK importers for Donzi were unhelpful with a capital U on this subject.
2. Does anyone know what the original factory colour scheme for this boat was ? Currently it has a white deck (original gel coat) with wide painted red stripe on the foredeck with painted black pinstripes either side. It has a painted red upper hull with a painted black pinstripe along the chine and a white lower hull (original gel coat). Some faded red gel coat is visible on the upper hull and foredeck stripe where the paint has chipped away so I think this is fairly original. Does this sound original ? I'll try and post some pictures at a later date.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. Any tips on preparing the hull and painting will be greatly appreciated.
