Reply to: NACRA 5.7 refurb: Gel Coat or Paint?

[quote=tominpa]This is great input. I was looking at using a gray surface primer over the repaired areas to improve adhesion, and then was looking at a mix of white gel coat and Duratec white gloss for the finishing, with the final coat shot with a wax/styrene surfacing agent. After that, lots and lots of sanding and buffing. The biggest drawback is the need to buy a specialty gun with 2.5mm tip, and of course all the pots of catalyzed gel coat with cleaning between each mix. Sounds like 2-part paint is the consensus. [quote]This time around I am going with an epoxy primer followed by a two part polyurethane. These kinds of finishes are much harder, have better UV resistance and are easy to repair. [/quote] Who did you source materials through for this? Can you specify what primer and 2-part poly you used? Any details in terms of expected coverage and application equipment would be greatly appreciated.[/quote]
