I was wondering if anyone has applied Monstaliner over a polyester gel coat without applying primer first? If so, how long ago did you do this and how well is it holding up?
Thanks

To those of you wanting a bed liner type product to cover the floors and decks of your boat I will share my recent experience with Monstaliner. This is advertised as a bed liner type product but in my opinion it is just a heavy paint. It dried hard and slick and I was very disapppointed with the finish for a boat. I followed the directions in detail and I used their rollers and applied as directed. It is just not what I wanted. I have used Grizzly Grip on my truck bed and another boat and I really like that product. It makes a rough flexible surface that will not slip and my dogs have no problem with their paws getting traction on that product. I would have used GG again but I wanted a close match to my OD green boat and Monstaliner seemed to have a better color so I thought I would try it. I would not use it again for a boat or a truck bed liner. Just a heads up if you are looking at using ML.
Well, then according to their website & info the primer is an anti lift primer.
I wouldn't want to do the work & have it lift,
The shell is polyester gelcoat that's never been painted?
Yep, j&g is probably right, but if you don't follow the recommendation of the manufacturer, it'll be souly on you if it under performs.
