Years ago I had to redo the Honda cowl and even though covered when not on the water and paint sealant used on it a lot... It still faded and looked old and worn out. To be quite frank, the factory Honda paint job (at least for M/Y 2004) was just not ready for Florida
So I took it off and ran it down the local auto body shop to have a quality Marine / Salt Water environment paint job done that matched the OEM color. And if I am not mistaken, the cowl was repainted in 2009. What was a shock, was the cost to replace the factory stickers which I did setting down in the living room one night. Another tedious job in it's own right since I wanted it perfect and look as if the Factory had installed them
Now I have discovered while doing some research for a friend of mine who is talking about redoing his on his own, two products that should help with such
One is paint kits that you can get from the Outboard Paint Shop down in South Florida:

The other is new stickers for the cowling:
https://garzonstudio.com/outboard-decals.html
Personally I think they (Garzon) did a pretty good job on the Flag decals
