Bottom paint accident

[Ms. Mymoney]

I was rolling on Interlux Micron Extra yesterday morning. A bee buzzed my head in the barn and I leaned back quickly. In doing so my roller barely grazed the gelcoat above my tape line. Crap

Had some On&Off on the boat but it didn't phase it. I assume this is something a pro will have to wet sand out? Or is there a miracle in a bottle that I don't know about? Any suggestions greatly appreciated, thanks!

Wipe it off with acetone

 

[Ms. Mymoney]

Even if it's been on there for several hrs?

Acetone will cut it, would have been easier while still wet.

or laquer thinner. carful on the stripes with both. dab rather than wipe

Acetone will also eat away the top color on the boot stripe. I would very apply acetone or toluene to a rag then very gently apply it to the pain on the stripes. Even consider masking the stripes if needed. Acetone won't hurt the fiberglass...just be gentle with the boot stripe.

Thanks everyone, headed down there in a bit to work on it.

Might try a clay bar first

Only had mineral spirits around, finished with some liquid compound. Re-washed and waxed it again. Thanks everyone!
