I sprayed gelcoat with a duratek clear additive . . . and I don't recommend it. Within 6 months the bracket changed color from a beautiful deep red to chalky pepto-pink. I would highly recommend painting it with awlgrip or some other type of industrial 2 part coating.

Gelcoat patch booster and a quality gelcoat, Minicraft of Florida sells all.

This is a perfect example of a simple (first timer) mistake. Cost me $80 for the gallon duratec, $30 gelcoat/pigment. Don't forget labor to redo the work . . . i.e. pull the engine, clean and spray the bracket again. Just one of a dozen time consuming costly first timer mistakes . . . but I would still do it all over again. You just have to know that you're not going to save a nickle doing the first time. Second time is 1/2 the price and 1/2 the time. If you are interested I can try to post a time table to make one of these. Rough guess would be 150 hours (without factoring in materials trips and screw ups).
