I wish I had more before pics, but I don’t. Our dinghy was in rough shape however functional. It’s a quality dinghy made by Aquapro in New Zealand (before they moved production to China) and so I thought no reason to replace it and rather I’d restore it. I ended up cleaning it with MEK (I know the manufacturers say not to, but it was the only thing that would remove the ground in dirt on the hypalon and I don’t see any damage caused) then painted the hypalon with several coats of white top coat inflatable paint. All the rubber trim I re-skinned with grey liquid rubber, and then painted all aluminum surfaces with grey aluma-hawk aluminum boat hull paint. Final touch was to apply our boat name to the bottom. I’ll post more pics once I get the engine on and mount the dinghy on the boat.
