Going to regelcoat my project boat 1 day this week. just wondering what to expect never seen a boat regelcoated. done it in car paint but never gelcoat. i've heard that there's alot of wet sanding. but the man that's doing the spraying say's the way he does it theres no wet sanding just some buffing. i've not seen a boat he's done. but i know he's gelcoated boats before.just wanted some more input from others.have some pregelcoat worries.sorry for any bad spelling thanks for any comments

A very good tradesman can apply gelcoat without the need to do a lot of wet sanding the trick is to add styre and wax to the gelcoat before spraying
