    Changing colour of gelcoat question

    Yes, I priced Imron before. The 904 would only go in the last coat? If so, I might get away with 1 gallon of 904....that would make the 5gallon of white gel with it 700.

    Changing colour of gelcoat question

    Thanks, the 5 gallon pail of gelcoat is expensive. I think the top cap will get gelcoat along with the bottom of the boat. I figure 2 gallons would be enough.

    Changing colour of gelcoat question

    Thanks, I have sprayed cars before, the single stage would be easier as I do not have a paint booth. Why avoid the tie downs? Would you suggest a primer for the single stage?

    Changing colour of gelcoat question

    Do I need a gecoat primer if I go all white gelcoat over my coloured hull? I was thinking to make the boat all white with a graphics decal to add some colour and style.

    Nice zool. Did you polish or sand the final coat? I kind of like the polar white . Looks nice and clean . I only have part of the cap and the hull bottom to gelcoat white.
