Default Re: Painting a hull

Your gel coat looks pretty thin, so once you get it filled and faired, the first thing I'd do is put some Interprotect epoxy primer on it to protect the laminate. Had mine soda blasted a few weeks ago, and that's what I'm gonna do, since it took off more gel coat than I expected. After that it depends on whether you're leaving it in the water of if it's a trailer boat. Mine's a trailer boat but is sometimes in the water for as much as 2 weeks at a time. I'm considering either Signature Finish or Supermarine Revolution 1000 that Carla and I are currently running some tests on.
