Stock Repair

My stock is starting to show some wear spots. Not as slick and shiny in some areas. Anyone know the secret to revitalization? Info would be appreciated. Brylcreem ain't working.

Do a search on YouTube for "buffing gelcoat". Most of the hits are going to be for marine applications but should be applicable.

Another option would be to actually take it to a marine repair facility and pay them to buff it.

I can only speak for myself but I would hit my favorite automotive paint supply shop and pick up the color of my choice or just some clearcoat if I like the current color. Break out my spraygun from my toolbox, fire up my compressor after prepping the stock for paint and spray it. Give it a few days to cure well, then colorsand and buff the clear. If you like a satin coat then that requires an additive for the clar and some experimenting to get the amount of satin finish you want.

I have always gone with full polish on stuff I have painted.

If that white spot is a flash and you're just worried about the slight scratching shown, then just look up buffing the clearcoat as has been suggested. There's no need for paint or anything else.

No, I don't want to re-paint or re-finish. It has some places on it that are dull. Picture was to show type of stock only. I do wood. I didn't know if this type of material could be polished, and the shine or gloss brought back. Or if it needed to be re-coated with something.
