Default RE: Painting a Gel Coated hull

DONT REMOVE THE GELCOAT!!!!!!!!!!Since this is an electric boat wright? first get a red scotch bright pad..you can get them at your local autoparts store.. Then use pre sol=aka tar&wax&grease remover.you can get that to at your local autoparts store too......Ok here we go... first wash the boat hull with prep sol...then scuff the gelcoat hull with the red scotchbright pad.....then re wash the hull down again with prep sol...Ok for paints.. You can Use Dupi-color rattle cans color and clear.. Get the SUV big can of dupi-color clear..It's a good clear...here my oberto painted with dupi-color rattle cans,but there toped off with Crossfire automotive urethane clear on them because there nitro boats,and nitro&gas will eat threw rattle can paint because they are not cattlelized/dont have hardners in them..[image][/img]
