Boat Decals

We had just bought an old boat. He painted the name and some other things. Are there ways to get off without destroying the layer Gell? Or perhaps without sanding? Thank you very much!

if they are painted, they are not decals

Sanding is necessary, wet grinding, but they are cleaner that does not freeze the Coast, but being porous, Cote gel can be sanded with wet 800-1200 grain paper, then polished with compound and not forget to wax afterwords!

Get one or two sections of sheet vinyl adhesives - writers sign or similar - Nice choose a neutral color to blend into the hull or superstructure, and cover the offending signs.

There are strippers that can soften the paint while not affecting the gelcoat. This is important - if it affects you gelcoat enough to make a big mess and more work. The gelcoat can be dyed a different shade or underneath the painting - what do you know until you remove the paint. CitriStrip and other types that range from 24 hours rather than the type that dries quickly.

Then you can consider a conservative reduction and nail to minimize - but not cut through the gelcoat!

Edition - The name offensive enough to need covering? Change the name of a boat is not difficult, but it was the name of a certain time - she could have it become as it were. When using a bottom cover sheet that you just ask for numbers that regular Rego - lasts as long as the number normally last the hull or superstructure.
