Gel Coat or Paint on fiberglass

How do you get the splatter finish like in the Carolina Skiff? I would like to have that in my V20.

I'm not sure how they do that. But I think they just liberally splattered a black paint type product over the gelcoat.
Have you ever seen the gelvoat finish on a Maycraft? It's brushed on. Liberally!! And the boat looks awesome. But to to the point of being Monet. If ya look close enough its actuslly kind of a violent looking finish. Lol!!!!.

They make guns that can apply the splatter but it can be accomplished with a paint brush. Dip it in the paint and shake it about a foot over the boat.

don't thin the gel, turn the air pressure up high, turn the volume up to max, and splatter away, I've also done it with a paint stick, just stir and sling
