Off white looking boat hull matching, Help?-gctid816279

[dockofthebay]

So I am painting half my boat this weekend. From the rub rail down I am painting it white due to scratches, nicks, and a wide red stripe I really don't like. After rolling and tipping on plexiglass to practice I was surprised at the finish. So I tried a 3 foot section on the actual boat hull for S & Gs. It also came out surprising well. How ever I noticed that there is about a 2 or 3 shade of white difference from the current hull white to the new white paint. I cant imagine why the rest of the hull isn't really that white as well but just oxidized or something. Can anyone give me pointers on what I can to bring that high gloss white back to the rest of the boat hull. I could paint it but that is a lot of extra work and way to many nooks and crannies to roll n tip it.
