[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 246217, member: 6982"] Well, since we haven't seen pictures that again is an assumption. Not trying to be mean, just saying. It may be holding well on 98% of the boat, and it is only obvious from seeing a small spot that has flaked. Roughing it up a bit with sandpaper is an effective way of checking the overall adhesion. A small amount of peeling or paint that has been scraped off does not indicate that the whole job has to be removed. There could be a number of explanations to there being two coats. One coat could simply be primer, one coat could have just been faded from age, one coat could be a color that the owner didn't like and the list goes on... I understand all too well that doing a job right the first time is going to ensure longevity but doing it right does not always necessitate taking the longest and most arduous route. [/QUOTE]
