I have a 1986 2+3 and I want to restore the deck. I want to put it back to original condition. I would like to know if the stripes are painted on or in the gel coat. Currently the stripes are painted on. Is this the correct way. Thanks for all the help. I love this web site. I asked the same question in an other area. But I think I will get more help here. I am a real newbie.

Thanks Mark :confused:

Hey, I just finished my restoration on my 1986 and the stripe was gel-coat. I would recommend you re-gelcoat it as well. Paint is really fragile surface, I wish I would have went with the gelcoat.
