I have a 2002 Gulfstream that I take great pride in her appearance. The blue area on the side of the boat where the 232 logo is located has faded. I'm not sure what material it is (paint?) Does anyone know how this can be restored to look like new?

Are you referring to the pinstriping? Or does your boat have a colored hull side? If the later, it is gelcoat (possibly paint if it was done by a previous owner). Can be compounded/buffed/waxed. If not waxed on a regular basis, it can take A LOT of work to bring it back to shiny - and even then, sometimes it never does come fully back.

Not the pinstripping, but on the side of the cabin, there is blue area that has the Gulfstream 232 logo.

Not sure what you mean. Usually the logo IS blue, with white lettering. It sounds like you're saying the logo is white, on top of a solid blue cabin side? Assuming you're just describing it differently, the entire "swoosh" thing is a sticker.

I ordered the graphic from Taylor Marine. Thanks for your help.
