Gel coat Refurbishment of Westy roof

Discussion in 'Restorations' started by Andyvan1, Jul 18, 2021.

  1. Hi All any had their early or late bay hinged GRP roof re gel coated .

    Mines flaked in patches down the the fibreglass and it could do with a sand down and re coating exterior and interior sides .

    Anyone had this done professionally by a GRP repair shop, what kind of money is involved?

    tars
     
  2. No but I’ve filled and painted loads with 2k
     

  3. What primer should you use over the original gel coat, before applying 2k paint.

    a filler primer or etch prime etc

    My mate that's sprayed a fair few kit cars recommended epoxy followed by a high build which is exactly what I've done on my baja kit:

    Epoxy sticks to gelcoat pretty well.

    Basically even car body filler will do to fill in the gelcoat holes - you could steam clean the bare patches to get rid of mouldy stuff, then when its all dry and clean, you fill it . For the ultimate stickiness, you can get epoxy filler but its expensive.
