Kale is tunda. yeah im going to check that out at west marine. I like air brush something then go over with some gel coat. heres som pics with the canopy finished. ready for the hardware...

[Team A-Hull]

Do you spay a clear coat then go over it with a gel coat? Or just primer, paint and gel coat?

[whiplash]

No gel coat on this boat yet..... just a black base coat, the red/blue mid coat then the clear coat. 3coats of the first and second stage, and 4-5 of the clear, alittle more where i put the seal tape though. I want to airbrush something then try gelcoat over that to make it hard. I hear it comes in a spray can...amazing.
what you got?

[Team A-Hull]

The boat i'm working on is an sv 27 like yours. I wanted to make it look mean and a little different. I think i'm going with blood red and black and the deck a firey skull made of vinyl. Just wanted to know the process especially the gel coat. Where do you get the gel coat in a can?

I wanted to try a sprayer but i need figure out that whole set up.


Krylon fusion was reccomended earlier but not to many colors to choose from.

Boat looks good!

[whiplash]

Krylon fusion is better for plastic, it should work good on plastic hulls like those cheap NQD hulls. I heard it dont work so good on fiberglass hulls or on top of paints like enamel, laquer or gelcoat. tried it over laquer primer and after drieing
I could peel it off with my fingernail.
The gel coat in a can, a friend told me about that, at the local marine shop. still haven't tryed it yet. the blood red sounds good that was my first choice. post the progress here if you like.ALOHA

[whiplash]

another guy told me he uses a clear resin with catalyst and applies it with his
airbrush set up. that sound preety good too.

Thanks Wiplash!

The right color is hard to find...

I want to get the boat broke in and i'll start to paint after a few mods are done and so on. I would like to find something like exhaust, or something to make it look beefy and tuff! Will see were the process takes me and what i actually end up doing.

I defenetly let you know!
