Default Re: Bottom Paint or gelcoat?

Ha Edloh;
First off, I had some one do the soda blasting and gel coating for me since I didn’t have anywhere to suspend the boat while working on the bottom of the boat I did all the rest of the boat myself. I can fill you in about it anyway first off, it’s not as difficult to roll gel coat as spraying it due to the upward angle and circumstances of repair work on the bottom unless you flip the boat over that that’s another story. Yes you will get a ruff finish but if you sand it like you would have to do if you sprayed it anyway you will get most of the imperfections out, in some arrears you will have to add a additional coat of gel coat since you will go through it all before you get the bumps out but eventually all will come out. Now it’s the rubbing compound and wax work which will bring it up to looking good. You will have to talk to someone like Jayson to tell you how long the wax work will stay looking good. P.S. don’t forget to use the proper waxing ingredient into the gel coat of it will never harden properly.
