[quote=MN3]Hi Larry, i guess no one here has much info for you. here is what i have learned over the years about gelcoating. its a PITA to do professional quality. there is a good amount of sanding, mess, lying on your back (if you haven't turned the boat over), hoping the weather cooperates and more and more and more sanding. also if "fairing" isn't your forte' you may have some imperfect lines in your hulls.
i have been workin on my rudders for about 3 weeks now. 3 coats of gel, 3 grits of sanding between each coat, i have more fairing to do and then paint/sand/paint/sand.... uggggg
I would suggest you scout out some pro shops to get bids on bottom jobs unless you are really hell bent on doing this yourself.
but to answer your question, you can make the gelcoat the consistency you want and then hand paint it on.. thats seems like the cheapest way to me, but i am no expert[/quote]
