    So this is the vision to help out in perspective, I want to spray a red gel base coat, then mask off for my black metal flake that will be mixed with clear gel, then spray the red metal flake mixed with clear gel for the main color of the boat

    Gel Coat

    Hey guys, couple questions. I sanded my boat 80 grit then 120, I’m changing the color of it. I sprayed total boat 2part epoxy primer and let it cure for 2 days.

    I guess I should have made it more clear where the design was going. I’ll post a picture, I just want the design on the top and sides of the top part of the boat all the way around like circled in this picture. The rest of the boat with red metal flake.

    Designs in or over gelcoat?

    Hey guys new here! I have a question I can’t find an answer too. So my motor bit the dust, so this winter I’ll be saving up for another motor. In the mean time I’m going to be changing the color of my boat from dark green to red with metal flake, I already have the process and materials I need...
