In this video I will be taping and applying overspray plastic and then spraying dark gray gelcoat on the sides using 3M Accuspray 16580 Gun. This gun spray gelcoat so nicely. I’m impressed🤓.

Thank you. More videos to come soon. I’m finally getting parts in to start rigging with.

Nice, at what point do you remove masking tape, should tape be removed before gel is cured?

[@mtwz71]

I let it cure then fold it to make a break line then pull it off.

Hardly any overspray that’s a nice gun for gelcoat

[@mtwz71]

@@reefslayer21 Yes. It sprays it great. I was surprised by it myself.

Did you thin the gel coat before spraying?

[@mtwz71]

I did by 3% with styrene.

I am confused with imperial, 4oz to 1 quart,.. how did you set the gun, all open with 35PSI? @@mtwz71

I just subscribe. Very interested in regelcoating my 1999 gradywhite tournament. Thank you

[@mtwz71]

It’s a great deal of work but we’ll worth it.

What did you thin the gelcoat with?

[@mtwz71]

Styrene. Very little, like 4oz to one quart of gel. Sprayed great.

Duratec® Reducer is the perfect solvent for Duratec® products. This specially formulated thinner/reducer is made from urethane-grade solvents as opposed to standard lacquer thinner. It matches the original solvent cut, assuring complete compatibility. Duratec® Reducer enhances flow and leveling properties and reduces orange peel and porosity. Using this thinner allows for reduced air pressure, which reduces overspray and allows for a smoother spray flow.

[@mtwz71]

@@nymack66 I will definitely be using it on my next spray. Thank you for the info.

[@alexbernal4988]

I will never use Duratec again. It sure flows real good but about 10 years later the gelcoat was falling apart like house paint. Thankfully I only painted the transom.
