Does anyone have and recomendations for what the best set-up is for spraying gel-coat, (compressor minimum psi, gun and nozel size.) I am getting ready to start sanding off the gel-coat of my 15' sport, It has so many spider cracks it look like there is a 2"X2" mosaic pattern throughout the interior and exterior of the hull. Also, any recomendations for the gel-coat maufacturer. Shock

I am going to use Spectrum pre-colored gel-coat on my 19 project. You can get to their website with this LINK.

There are several projects on WC with people who have sprayed and documented their results. I will try to locate one later and post it for simplicity.

I hope you found it informative. Be sure to take plenty of pictures and report back on your experience. I am getting close to some gel-coat work myself and would love to know how yours turns out and the process you used.
