hey there gents,
I understand the application process as I have done plenty of research, Im going to make this sweet and simple by listing my procedure and equipment. Just looking for any advice from there. Keep in mind Im not looking for a completely professional job, just average results. Got the boat for dirt cheap just looking to make it pretty again
white ferro gelcoat w/ wax
hardener
acetone for thinning, cleaning
spray gun hvlp with 1.5mm nozzle gravity fed? ( will this work with the gelcoat thinned a little bit, or still to small)
6hp 20gal compressor w/ water separator
Was planning to spray just a couple coats of gel coat then be done with it. My buddies paint job with the same stuff came out pretty good. He just sprayed two coats inside and out didn't even sand it or wax. There was a little orange peel but couldn't barely tell. Didnt use the pva or clear additives, just gelcoat. Looks good today from last year
