Did a test area of bringing back the original gelcoat. first pass on the gelcoat with 400 in the picture, will most likely go to 800, then 1200 and then to 1500 (or more) if needed. The 400 seems to bring the color back about 80%.
Nice thing is they were not bashful with the gelcoat back in 81, pretty thick IMG_6019.jpg IMG_6020.jpg IMG_6037.jpg IMG_6089.jpg IMG_6092.jpg Last edited by Dana A; 04-03-2021 at 02:59 PM. |
