Re: would like to put a new gel coat on my 1988 ranger to make it look shiny
Ayuh,.....
Gelcoat is made to be shot into a Mold,+ have a boat built on it.......
Shooting Gelcoat Onto an existing boat is an Extremely Labor Intensive job,....
Basically,...
You need to shoot Twice as much Gelcoat as is needed,+ then Sand 1/2 of it Off, to get that Great Shine.......
If you want your boat to Look Sharp,.....
Take it to a few Autobody Shops,+ have them give you an estimate......
Paint is Much more reasonable,... Shines Just as Well,+ is nearly as Durable.....
