From what I have read you'll most likely need a much smaller tipped spray gun when using the gelcoat/duratec mix. My understanding (since I haven't it yet) is that when mixed 50/50, the Duratec significantly reduces the viscosity of the gelcoat to the point it can be sprayed from a HVLP using a 1.8MM or larger tip. I suspect a if you attempt to spray it form gun you used to apply the gelcoat (4.7 MM) you won't be happy with the results. If you need a gun for this phase of the project let me know and I'll send you the one I recently purchased (HVLP 2.3 MM) if you promise to return it when your finished.
P.S. Your going to need some of acetone to clean the gun after each use.

You were right, as for the Duratec it did add the mirror look to the gelcoat, I am very pleased with the results.
I will post some pictures this weekend.
