    Changing colour of gelcoat question

    Well..... I washed the other side down with wax and grease remover. Same fish eye. Would too old of Duratec do this? My sealed can was 2.5 years old. I ordered a new air line just to be on the safe side.....never used this line for painting before.

    I have my air dryer on. It has water, oil and particulate filters, then after the regulator I have more filters. I think I should have used my Proform wax and grease remover. Or I very likely missed some spots.

    Shot a test side. I wiped the sides down with acetone, yet I still got fish eye. Will sand and re wipe with wax and grease remover.

    Changing colour of gelcoat question

    Ok, Thanks Scott. I am jumping the gun a bit, but I will shoot the Cobalt blue gel I have on hand today. I will gelcoat the sides for a test to see if I like it.

    Changing colour of gelcoat question

    To catalyze the Duratec and gelcoat, do I add MEKP for the volume of the gel only or the entire volume? I just went to the Duratec site. I downloaded the instructions. Google is my friend.....lol

    Thanks for the steps. Sides are sanded, just have to fair the bottom and the cap.

    Ok, thanks. That would be 1k for 904 alone. Time to decide whether to do top cap and bottom of boat with gel/904 and sides with single stage.

    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.

    Thanks, Mike, I take it that the last coat would be mixed with the Duratec?

    Changing colour of gelcoat question

    Just out of curiosity, does humidity take the gloss sheen out of the gelcoat with Duratec in it? I know with auto paint it will.

    Changing colour of gelcoat question

    Thanks lads. I have a gallon of Duratec. I think some testing with white gelcoat is in order after my interior work. My idea is to spray the entire boat white. Add some graphic decals on the sides of the hull. Now I am torn with spraying the sides a metallic blue, which I have a gallon of...

    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.

    spray nozzle size for gelcoat

    Hi all, It has been some years since I have posted. Life got in the way of my project...... I will begin to finish my 1990 Sunray Prelude 20 foot bowrider. I will be sanding the old gelcoat and applying a new gelcoat/Duratec 904-001 finish. I have a variety of spray guns. What tip size would be...
