In all honesty it looks awesome,,, but all the work preparing for paint, then all the work re assembling makes the paint process the easy part, but its what everyone looks at first ❤

I prolly should have went this route with mine!! Paint system is way less work than gel coat. Boy that shine straight outa the gun can’t be beat. Keep it up

This is only the 2nd 31 I have worked on. The first was only minor electrical repairs. I have been working on this Bertram 31 on and off since 2016. I will eventually do some videos of the older projects.

Does it matter that resin is by weight and gelcoat is by volume, im asking because my can of gelcoat says 14 to 16 drops per oz and my resin says 7 to 8 drops per oz.
@vernesecustoms
@vernesecustoms Ай бұрын
Both resins and gelcoats should be mixed by weight. Polyester resin generally needs 1% MEKP, and gelcoat should be catalyzed around 2% MEKP. There is no golden rule or set ratio. You have to experiment with the materials that you have on hand and adjust as needed.

Sprayed. I have seen some good rolled paint jobs. There is really no comparison. Each coat we apply melts into the last and draws the clear to the surface. This will get blocked out and the final will be done in AwlGrip HDT
