Boat Paint Vs Gelcoat
Paint vs gel coat.. painted boats are way less durable, harder to clean hard water spots, more difficult to sell, and usually bring less money. i have painted for almost 30 years, but gel coat is the way to go.. Gel coat vs. paint i just came in from cleaning my albemarle. my gel coat is really starting to need work. is it worth it to have gel coat repair done? if i was to have the boat painted, do they just spray over the gel coat cracks? what are the life expectency and benefits of paint over gel coat?. Not sure if i should do gel coat or paint. you should do a video on repainting step by step of sides and the rest of the boat. haha gel coat seems as a harder material..
Using paint, or gelcoat, are two different methods of approaching basic, boat-related repairs.repairing the boat’s exterior or interior surface includes finishing the repaired spot with a durable and aesthetic material.. With an existing boat, spraying gelcoat versus spraying paint is a choice made for other reasons than those mentioned above which make gelcoat so attractive to the original builder who molded the hull. in other words, all the advantages in favor of gelcoat are no longer obtained.. Using a custom spray gun with a pressurized bottle to spray gelcoat on the decks of two whale watching boats owned by conscious breath adventures, then a touchup gun to finish off the motor wells..
