Dead Paint Restoration 303 Products

[daletraylor]

I have some serious faded paint on my 2003 SANTE. A friend told me to use a product called 303, he states that it is the best product that he has used to bring back faded paint. Curious if anyone out there has used this product and if it is worth trying? If not, is there another product or procedure for restoring color besides repainting?

Are you talking about the hull? Only the windshield frame and tower are painted. The hull is gelcoat, and it can be polished back to new.

303 has a great protectant that keeps vinyl looking and feeling new. Never used it to bring back color though.

So how do you polish gelcoat back to new?

Post a picture up close of your gelcoat. What you need to do to bring it back depends on how bad it is. It could range from something as easy as a spray on product to as difficult as having to go through a multi-step process of wetsanding and polishing with a buffer.

303 is a great protectant and it will make your gel look newer but it will not restore it. Like others have said it could be as simple as a restore wax to as difficult as a multiple step, sanding, polishing effort.
