   Tom,
The alternate for the graphics lettering is to trace and take it to a vinyl sign shop. They will scan it, clean up the tracing on their computer and cut a mask. A common name for it is a Gerber mask which is a brand. It would save time from having it mask all the lettering with the fine line tape.

I'm glad to hear you want to go original with paint and not vinyl!   One of these days I need to do my Tique. The PO put vinyl graphics on it!

	Thanks Pete, I will try and look for locals that can do that. I have one in mind. I just went out and did a patch with the super duty rubbing compound by hand, because I was afraid I would smear the lettering all over the place, and I am surprised how the lettering shined up. It did smear quite a bit because of the oxidation, But I will probably go around twice with super, then down to regular rubbing compound, then start the masking. I need to do this job excluding Sat and Tues, because those are the days the boat is in use. I think I will do one side a week including the transom. I want to pull the swim platform and do the teak cleaning and oiling at the same time.
