Re: want to gelcoat my 76 sunray bowrider
That is exactly why I went gelcoat route.

The fact is is that while Brightsides is one of the best one part paints it is not nearly as durable as a 2 part like Interlux perfection or Awlgrip. The 2 part paints are harder and are much much more difficult to scratch up.
I think of all the work required to prep a hull for paint and then money spent on the paint itself....to me it boils down to simple decsion and that's to go with the better paint. It may not fit everyones buget, that's fine go with something else. It WILL look great for the time being.
