Hello,
Decided to remove the upper pinstripes from my StarCraft (fiberglass, not tin). Got the eraser wheel - thing works awesome. However I'm left with what appears to be the stripes in gelcoat. See the attached photos. It's like the builder formed the gelcoat with uncolored stripes and then rolled color onto them. Is this the way it is? I guess Im left with it looking this way although it's a major upgrade from the ratty stripes.
Another question: using the eraser wheel it looks like I burned some brown rubber stuff into the finish. I hit it with the buffing wheel and a Polish compound. Made the gelcoat shine but didn't remove the discoloration. Wool pad with cutting creme next. Any suggestions on how to remove the discoloration?
Thanks.
