I have a 2" paint strip around my bridge combing that is faded. Wax does not help. I am not scheduled to go to the yard for over a year, so would wet sanding give me any help?
If so, which grit?

Why not just tape it off, de-wax it, rough it up with a 3M pad or 220 sandpaper, wipe it down with your favorite solvent and paint it.
I do this to our boot top every couple of years. Rolling and tipping it works for me. Goes quickly.
2000 grit wet sand followed by Meguires medium cut, then wax. It will look like new. Start with a small bit first to satisfy yourself of the result.I have a 2" paint strip around my bridge combing that is faded. Wax does not help.

It's a bit of a highjack, but I'm curious about removing the name from our new boat. It's paited on with what appears to be polyeurethane like bright aides or something. Any thoughs on getting the paint off without trashing the gel coat beneath it?
Oven cleaner will remove many types of paint.
