Hi just curious what paint did you use. when i was still in my teens i redid a paddle ski and man it was a big mess. After a while it started cracking and peeling. ( might have been bad prep and wrong paint) So some insight would be helpful.

Cheers Malboer

 

[JG Swart]

Glatex 8 under coat and top coat.
Prep and spray work must be done correctly.

Thanks JG like i said i was young dumb and full of rum ha ha ha.
Is it a two part paint.

Cheers
Malboer

 

[JG Swart]

Yes, its a 2 part paint.
Almost same as 2k. Just bonds better to gel coat.

Nice....got any fish of the "revamped" war horse?

 

[Malboer]

Looking good JG. Did you do the hull as well. Will the paint keep on the hull.

Is there a spray on type of gelcoat available to use on the hull.

Cheers

Did not really go to fish. Just needed to see if all is water tight.
But did came accross few small shad and Red Roman.

I did the hull also. If you prepare hull and use undercoat as instructed the the paint will stick.
Know that you can not spray gelcoat on gelcoat. Spraying it is too thin of a layer to stick.
Around here on sealine there will be guys that know more about this stuff.
