You may find that was the original color of all your hull!
Cover the rest of the boat with SPF 100 and wait for this patch to catch up.Any deals on how to lighten gelcoat?
Surely this is the most logical fix..?UV oxidizes paint and gelcoat,leeching the color out of it. UV can't get to the paint or gelcoat thats under plaques or lettering so it doesn't oxidize. Now that it's exposed, it will...eventually.
Or you could just put a new name plaque on it.

The boat is an 2004, white gelcoat, there are many areas the sun doesn't touch, ie the hard top over aft deck and its very white. So there's no oxidation making my"brown boat " white. Maybe the heat thru the panel, or off gassing of materials, ie Labels. any more thoughts?
