With all the conversations regarding painting of hulls, I thought it might benefit some if I posted a few pictures of the results having my hull re-gelcoated.
For the record I did the following:
1. rough sanded the gelcoat cracks down to the fiberglass, the remainder with 120 to remove gloss
2. paid $200 to have a boat repair place spray the hull with gelcoat
3. spent about $20 and 20 hours sanding (started with 400 dry then 800, 1500 and 2000 all wet). 4. Lastly I buffed the entire boat with 3M Finesse-It II ($15 via the internet or $25 @ West Marine)
This my 1st attempt uploading pictures, my apologies in advance if they're not very good.
