[quote=catmodding]So left you with 2 shiny hulls. Was called away and left the hulls outside.

Had to work a couple of days and when I returned ..... Disaster !!!!!
The paint was mat and had crackles and bubbles at some places.

We started sanding again to discover a strange chemical reaction 
which caused the old gelcoat to bubble.

Out of frustration and to boost moral somewhat I painted one deck 
so we could at least see what the result wil be in the end.

We sanded € 60,00 worth of paint away.  :-x

And started filling the bubble-holes with putty

And faired the complete hull.

Next is a primer to separate the old gelcoat from the new paint.
Then is paint , version 2.....

What a frustrating period, keep You posted.
