Gelcoats were near perfect and completely usable as a finished car. In fact if I am able to do a SLC I fully intend to leave it in gelcoat, buff out the seams, put some numbers on it and take it to the track. That's really a huge savings in bodywork and paint. To the tune of 10s of thousands of dollars here in California.
It's that good.
Thanks again Fran. |
Howard - Thanks for posting this. I'm guessing that one of those SLC's was mine and my plan is to have RCR sand down and buff out the mold lines and go with just the gelcoat. I may decide to paint it in the future but from everything Fran (and now you) has told me the gelcoat is near-perfect. I know it may not have the depth of color of a base coat clear coat paint job but I don't intend the car to be a show car anyway.
