O.K. Let's get this out in the open, I don't know anything about boat paint.
I have this really awful colored orange stripe running the length of my GT 21 below the waterline. I believe it's called the boot stripe (strap?). Anyway, it is chipped, and faded and needs paint. I would like to paint it black. Can I tape it off, sand it and paint over the orange? Suggestions regarding extent of sanding required, types of paint and applications are greatly appreciated.
