Starting to think seriously about freshening up the hull on my Hanse 400, the gelcoat is already looking obviously tired, a few battle scars from years of docking lol, and honestly I've always kind of wanted a darker color but I dont know if I should go for a full professional topside spray or just fixing what's needed and doing a partial respray, paint jobs can get pricey fast, I know that and I'd love to hear from anyone who's already gone down this path, what did you do
 
I recently repainted my Hanse and went full spray with Awlgrip. It was pricey, but well of course it looked incredible. Either that or am I just biased? LOL. If you're staying in the water long-term, it's okay to splurge just once.
 
Going full dark hull is bold but be warned, it shows every scratch, swirl, and fender kiss. If you're picky, spot fixes won't cut it...either go all-in or save your cash
