Can anyone tell me what year Hunter began using a "Clear Coat" paint on their sailboats?

What year Hunter do you have?

I haven't been around brand new Hunters (after 2000), but if you have an older Hunter and it has what looks like clear coat paint flaking off, you may want to read the threads on acrylic coating removal. Enjoy...

Never heard of such a thing.

Sherry: I have never heard of such a thing. This is what they do on the expensive euro cars. I think Bob has a good idea. Try getting a couple of quarts of Amonnia and wash your boat with this (don't dilute it). It will probably remove most of the stuff. Then get yourself an IG (Island Girl) kit and fix the gelcoat. I just did the first phase (seaclow) of the IG and the gelcoat is now like silk. I plan on finishing this process on Sunday and will be doing the silknseal too.

Gel Coat Formulation

Back in the early 90s they went to a new formulation for the gel coat which was supposed to be more UV resistant - could this be what you are interested in? Bet the folks at Hunter could fill you in with more details

Thank you

Thank you John, the UV resistant gel coat is what I was interested in.
