Hippie, you are correct, I must have smoked dinner again.

Well, my advice would be to learn to like the "aged" look :pound: I'm getting my vking ready for paint now and am not a big fan of the sanding.

There are a couple routs you can go, paint, gel, or a vinyl wrap. My viper is painted on the bottom with a epoxy paint and the top is carbon fiber with clear gel and a automotive clear over it. My vking will be auto paint top and bottom. Neither of these boats are in the water for more than a couple hours. If you plan on keeping the boat in the water more than a day or two at a tile gel is the way to go on the bottom.
