    Looking to Paint over Old Gelcoat.

    Do I also have to use a primer, after sanding and wiping it down with acetone. I'm thinking of using this Rust-Oleum Oil based Paint.

    Looking to Paint over Old Gelcoat.

    I'm assuming I'll need to sand it prior to painting. Am I correct?

    Looking to Paint over Old Gelcoat.

    Paint will make it 80 times better, as it's pretty ratty looking, especially on top of the stern.

    Looking to Paint over Old Gelcoat.

    Can anyone recommend a good paint to go over my old gel coat. It will be above the water line, it's just basically the top portion of my boat. The boat is almost 40 years old and the gelcoat is starting to look faded etc. Any suggestions, epoxy primer and then paint? Thanks

    Hey guys, after it's all sanded out, Do I fiberglass the new transom plywood before I install it, and do I cut out the bowling pin before I fiberglass it. I only have a small section to do, its maybe 3 feet wide by 3.5 feet in height, Photo below. Your thoughts.

    Any Transom experts here. I have a Transom Rebuilding Question.

    Thanks for all the responses. I do have a drill press, but my question is what's the angle, A 90 degree angle seems odd in what I've researched. Is it 90 degrees?

    When I remount the gimbal housing back into the newly repaired transom I noticed the gimbal bolts are on an angle. Do I drill the transom bolt holes with that same angle? I saw a video awhile back but can't remember the YouTube vide. I watched. Thanks

    Any Transom experts here. I have a Transom Rebuilding Question.

    After I sand the transom and acetone it, should I do a light coat of just regular polyester resin? It could use some support in my opinion. It couldn't hurt or could it? *And would the peanut butter mix adhere to it, if I do a light coat of resin to the transom first. Your opinion. Thanks

    To marry the two pieces of 3/4 " ply for the transom, is marine glue good such as titebond 3, or should I use resin and chopstrain to bind them? I have been reading good feedback on the titebond 3, A shout out to @JASinIL2006
