Re Gelcoat job

I have my 83 upside down on the trailer. ground out that billion blisters and filled with vinyl ester resin and cabosil.   i tried my hand at spraying Gel Coat and did ok for the first try.   bought 2 guns a 2.0 and 2.3. found 2.3 to be the one to use. However forgot to set the pressure and was painting slowly at about 10lbs.   3/4 the way through if figured it out and turned to 35 and it went down fast and smooth.   Had love bug issue and many got in the coating.   Due to heavy orange peal from initial spray i did wet sand with 220 using DA.   it made the bottom glass smooth. I plan to hit it again this week once i get more material.   I believe i can get a nearly perfect coating.   Will gel the fist 10" of the sides from bottom edge and feather it off. plan to paint the color part with a good quality automotive paint.   Will also do this while upside down.   

So after the learning curve i am comfortable putting the stuff down and keeping gun clean and confident with finishing with wet sand and buff.   Not nearly as hard as anticipated. Glad i could practice on the bottom.   

Are you looking for a gun Joe?

Joe this is the one I used on the Mustang parts. I believe I saw them on ebay for around $40. I painted the Shamrock with it too without a nozzle change.
