As my five year old says..."I'm confrused...."
Say a boat has gelcoat on it...and it's an older boat...so it has a few cracks...how do you feel in the cracks? I'm assuming a little sanding and filler...
next...you are getting ready to paint the hull...it is a mixture of gelcoat, and sanded spots...do you re-gelcoat the whole thing? or just paint over the top of the sanded spots (to and through the gelcoat) and the gelcoat?
next...topside/interior...do you just paint over the top of the fiberglass?
lastly...i'm assuming that you put down some sort of primer?
What I'm aiming to get it is a good finish that will not easily be "worn" through....if paint will accomplish that, then why use gelcoat in the first place?
Thanks for any and all help ahead of time...
