I removed the old cove stripe and replaced using vinyl 3M tape. Excellent result. The prep is the same as tape, but painting requires taping off and two days to apply two coats. Interlux must sit 16 hours before sanding. Instead the 3M Vinyl tape can be done in a smaller weather window, only needs a few hours of dry weather to apply, goes on dry and complete.
I later added stripes of tape above the boot stripe and that really set off the boat. I used blue painter's tape as a spacer to get the stripes all parallel and they came out great. Looks great seven years later. The original cove stripe on my boat was a thin gold pinstripe tape and the new tape is thicker and better quality. I would highly recommend using vinyl tape on a boat as it saves a lot of time.
