I would agree with all that. The Rejex I use simply slows down the process.

I think blue looks the bees knees and by all means go blue if you accept the faster degradation and the need to repaint every so often.

One thing I have learnt is that its not worth paying the extra for a blue gelcoat - I paid $44,000 extra on my last boat and blemishes still showed through. I would be happy with blue Awlgrip if I was taking the blue hull route.




yep acrylic paint/spray is the best choice
tough difficult to understand by customers and nuyers, who mostly beleive gelcoat to be best suited for marine use
