[NSRCA-discussion] Gel coat prep

[JShulman]

If it's like a Comp-ARF, all I did on my Integrals was scuff the surface
with some 1200 and painted over it. I didn't clear it, but not paint has
flaked off yet. And no primer either, but I didn't fix the seams.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Gel coat prep


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
Jeff Hill
