[C320-list] New post...bottom paint-rudder showing white

[Rod Boer]

Hi Robert,

 

On my year 2000 Catalina the rudder was initially painted white while the
hull was blue.  Many of the boats were commissioned this way and owners
changed the paint to match the hull.  What you see is probably the white
paint used originally on the rudder.

All:

 

See subject field.  While scraping my rudder, large paint flakes fell  

off showing white beneath, which I believe is the fiberglass surface.   

Can I simply sand and repaint, or is a more drastic procedure  

indicated.  The hull only exhibits the usual flaking, indicating some  

touchup sanding before repainting.  We've been considering completely  

stripping the (2002) hull, just not this season.
