Sorry if this question has been asked before but a search on "paint" and "painting" turned up 187 pages and I just don't have time to go through them all. Eventually, I want to buy a new G3 1544. The G3 is painted a baby poop brown color and, at least to my way of thinking, looks really crappy (pun intended). I know that when repainting an older boat it's advisable to etch or sand it in order to make the paint stick better, but is this necessary on a new boat that's never been in the water? Can I just paint over the new paint?
