    Cool Gel coating successful!

    Hello all,
    I just finished gel coating the HSRF'd, Rage Gold'd, parting lines. A little orange peal to cut and buff, but IMHO it turned out great.

    Now I have time to drive around before serious paint.

    Thank you all for your support,

    Could you create a list of the materials and the tools you used to do this? And some text detailing how you did it and how you got the gelcoat to set up. I think a LOT of owners would go for this. It looks fantastic.

    Hello,
    Yes, I will document my procedure and materials. It will take me a few hours to get it together. Bare with me.
