RV Builders, I'm about finished with the canopy skirts on my 8's sliding canopy. Lord knows I LOVE fiberglass! What product can I buy that I can spray on that will cover Van's pink fiberglass and smooth out the surface? The 601 XL I built had all the fiberglass parts gel coated so priming and painting were a snap, but looking ahead at the cowls and wheel pants I need some product that will smooth out the surface. Hope to hear from somebody. Best regards, Bill of Georgia

I like PPG’s K36 Prima. Their K38 works very well too, but in my opinion the K36 is more versatile and easier to work with as it can be reduced.

Hi Bill,
For my tail tips, I got some sweet gel coat stuff from the local Tap Plastics store. I bought a pt. can and a little tube of the hardener and some thinner. It mixes up like a really thick paint and you can either brush or spray it on. It isn't has hard as the stuff Van's uses on the tips, but it gives just as nice a finish. Pretty simple to use. Here's a picture of the stuff...
