[NSRCA-discussion] Gel coat prep

[Jeff Hill]

I'm pretty sure this has been around the list before but I can't find  
it in my old e-mails.

I'm prepping my white gel coated fuse for painting. The seams are  
smooth, the holes filled. What's the best way to prepare the surface?  
I was thinking of wet sanding with 600 grit, but it occurred to me  
that there might be better or easier ways. Second question, I know  
the seams need to be primed, does the gel coated surface need priming?

Thanks in advance
