How about some lessons learned on using Duratec? Its sounds like you still need to buff it out to get the finish you got now? What size paint gun tip did you end up using? Any problems?

Well the Duratec helped in regards to thinning the Gel Coat, Looks great however you still have to buff the crap out of it. First sand the ruff spots with a 220 grit then a 600 all dry sanding using a palm sander then I started buffing with a 2000 grit compound (use a spray bottle with water to keep it wet) then use the 1000 compound (which removes 600 to 800 marks ) then wash off with water ,next follow with a wax of your choice and wipe or buff off this is exactly what you see.
If I were to do it all over again , I will pass on the Duratec one gallon is 75.00,then after the buffing I really question my self how much of it was left if any.
As for the tip on the spray gun I ended up using the 2.0 mm from Harbor Frieght you were right on with your idea on the other post.
If you need the info on the compound see this link

Download the PDF I use the AquaBuff 2000 and 1000 , by Duratec :) this stuff is the best

"Notice where the Fuel fill and vent is now located ? This is because I flip the new tank around so the fuel line is at the back of the boat"

Did that put the fuel pick-up at the front of the tank?
