I have a 1 x 1 area that I need to re Gel Coat. Glasair is of no help. Fortunately airplane has always been hangered so I don’t think too much UV fade. This has fleck in it and I believe it was called pearl back in the day. Does anyone have a matching code that may be a start point for me? Looks like Sea Ray boats had a pearl gel coat in that time frame but difficult to choose of an LCD screen. Any Help Appreciated!!!!

 

Cheers,

Gel coat is used to easily remove parts from a mold and to cover the fabric  with a smooth finish. I painted my Glasair Diamond white to protect it from the  sun's rays. If you haven't painted the gel coat I would bring a chip of  it to a paint store to match it. But I would first spray on Feather Fill to  fill in the area. I know  a painter that repaints damaged areas that  uses a feathering technique. After he paints the repaired area he mists out  twice the area repaired and it is hardly noticeable. His name is Jeff and works  out of Cartersville airport in Georgia. If you decide to repaint the whole  plane, I would use first use a white epoxy primer and Pittsburg three  process system of base coat, clear metalic and top coat. I sanded off my  first paint job and replaced it using the Pittsburg system and shed over forty  pounds off the plane. Before you paint it, to avoid peeling, rough  up both the gel coat and epoxy primer using 220 grit paper. My finish  is nine years old and looks new!!

Good Morning Chuck,

 

Thanks so much for the quick response. Your suggestions make a lot of sense as I do not have any experience with gel coat. I really do not want to paint the whole airplane as it is in good shape. This is a repair of a damaged area that is quite small. I made some auumptions that were wrong in that I thought the gel coat was pearl where in fact it does look like a pearl paint on top of a white gel coat. Your feather technique looks like best method for me.

 

Thanks Again

 

Bob Granley
