Seams I remember something about a similar situation some time back.
If the boat is painted in lacquer and the lettering is enamel do a test spot with some enamel thinner and see if it affects the lacquer. If it doesn't hurt the lacquer you might be OK.
Where is Todd on this?

A freash sheet of 1500 is pretty aggressive when using your fingertips, thats why I started with that, the lettering enamel sands off real quick, so if you can get away with leaving more of the surface paint the better!
After re-reading Luckys last post, I noticed the 400 that he used, I rerely use 400 on any painted surface, mainly for a run, but those are few and far between!hil:) you would think I was a marathon participant! lol
