[quote]Properly painting is a huge undertaking, so first try some serious wet-sanding and polishing, you might be amazed how good it looks. But like I said before, if you have big ugly damage that can't be "buffed out" then painting is always an option.[/quote]

but the sanding is giving me trouble i power buffed it, but too much work for too little return. and currently im just using 130 grit. whats the best way i can go about wet sanding it?[/quote]
OH NO!!! Way way way to coarse.
Depending on how far gone the gelcoat will decide what grit to start with.
I'm in the middle of doing my new H18 and started with a GOOD once over with 400 followed by a once over of 600 followed by a strong 1500 followed by a 2000 grit once over and then a polishing compound followed by 2 coats of good wax.
It's one helluva lotta elbow grease but in my opinion worth it. My once dull faded hulls are coming right back to life with a nice bright shine.
