Glenn Gambell from the list turned me on to using electrical tape to mask the boot strip. extremely flexible and cheap, if there is a Harbour Freight nearby.

Yes, tape the stripes then sand up to them. I'd say wet sand with 220 or 320, depending on how much shine you're after. If the tape edge gets messed up, just re-tape it before you paint. I'd use awl grip, again. I would call the techs at the company and ask if you need to prime over the old awl grip. Use a decent brush and paint them one at time so you don't lose your "wet edge" and you should be fine.

    Want to freshen up Awlgriped water line stripes.

    I assume I need to sand it but do not want to sand the topsides or
    the blue stripe between the two white stripes.  I will be taping
    of course but just sand over tape?  Wont the sanding affect the
    tapes edge and therefore the ultimate paint line will be sloppy?

    Paint choice for painting and any other suggestions for the job?

    Thanks in advance
