Would you do it again? If so what type of maintenance is needed to keep it looking good?

Not too many pewter hull SRs on Lake Michigan that look good if they are not brand new. Don't recall seeing one recently. I've said it before, "everyone should have a colored hull at least once." Paint or white is the best way to go, and white is better than painted colors.
Looks very nice!View attachment 54681
+1. Your right ...every pewter hull I have seen looks a little rough compared to the same year blue hulls.... Maybe blue hull owners try a little harder thinking they are more vulnerable to the effects of sun damage. In any event... White is the way to go ...hands down..... But I still like the look of the blue.
I was intent on getting a colored hull when I was shopping for my used boat because they look so sharp. Then I got a closer look at a few colored hulls and I quickly change my mind.
I’m pretty anal about maintaining the finish and the colored hulls that I saw were generally oxidized to some degree. I quickly decided that a colored hull was more work than I was willing to take on.
Oddly enough, the used colored hull Sea Rays seemed to have suffered more oxidation than some other brands. Particularly the blue ones, which was what I really wanted.
My 410 is a Monaco edition with the blue stripe, so at least I got a little bit of color.
The colored hulls sure are pretty though when they are in good shape.
