GelCoat or Paint ? Help!

Nymack66:

Take a look at DURATEC Hi Gloss additive . It's a addtive that mixes 50 /50 with the GELCOAT to thin it out enough to shoot effectively and allows it to dry with a high gloss to eliminate the work of sanding / buffing mentioned earlier. I also heard Patch Accelerator works as well but I do not believe it improves gloss.

I have purchased some of the DURATEC Polyester Hi Gloss additive but haven't shot it myself as of yet. Understand you need a larger tipped HVLP gun to get a good even flow in order to reduce orange peel. I just got my gun from Northern Tool recently had haven't had the time to play yet.

Here's a cheap HVLP gun with a tip size that I have seen reccommeded for shooting gel coat.
