2003 OUTRAGE 240 Faded Lettering

Hi. I wish to restore some faded, red, side lettering "BOSTON WHALER" on both sides of a 2003 Outrage 240. These are the type letters that are raised and are almost rubbery

I'm thinking they may be expensive to replace.

Is there a way or chemical or polish that would bring back the red luster? Thanks, Mav

In the past I used GOOF OFF to clean the lettering, a product called SHUTTER SAVER to restore the color, then a nice polish to protect them. They still look great four years later.

I have observed that WD40 restores lustre and flexibility to vinyl.

They are actually not that expensive - somewhere around 35 bucks per side

Thanks. This one also has black lettering "Gulf Coast Edition" under the red Boston Whaler letters...may replace it all if renewal doesn't work...will be trying renewal this coming weekend. Thanks, Mav
