Hello to all,

I've recently bought a 1980 desert tan montauk.
The gelcoat is the factory one and it's faded and has minor
and major cracks on the surface.
How can i spray the gelcoat again?
What's the preparation and things i must do for the best result?
Must i apply 2 layers? Must i buff it afterwards?

Thank you all for your attention!
Tasos
