Do a search and should find some good info. I did mine but with Auto clear and it turned out great. Next time will get gel coat to spray on, thats the best and longer lasting way. Good luck

So i figered what the hell I well give it a try and see what the out come well be

Gel is not hard to spray if you are used to spraying urathane paint. That is basicly what it is. I resprayed my Ranger 372v and it is not easy but it can be done. Talk with the folks at http://www.fibreglast.com/ they were very helpful with what products to purchase and quanities. Once you mix the Gel Coat and thinner befor you add the hardner it will have the consistency of regular urathane auto paint. Once you add the hardner you had better be ready to spray because depending on temp and humidity it will start to gel in the cup in about 10 to 15 minutes so you need to be on your game before you add the hardner to your mix. I mixed everything in a clean gal paint can then added the hardner to the cup after I filled the cup. I hope this helps.
THank's for the help I found the Blue Pigment But Finding it heard to find Silver . I was going to sprat metal flake but now found that I like the pigment colors better then the metal flake . If you have any clue where I can get the Silver Pigment please share . The web sight you seent me I have ordered my galcoat and gun from there 3 weeks ago and yes they are helpful but don't have silver pigment .
Thanks Chuck
Call Ranger with your ser.# and they will sell you the flake for approx. $21.00 pint!
Thats the way I did it!
Good Luck!

Thanks Ed Do you know how much flake it takes to paint the hole boat ? My Boat is red a silver and want to go Blue and silver . Just trying to find out how much to order I found is in a 4 pd to 10 pd bad .
I'm not sure how to figure out how much to buy.I painted a fender on the trailer(twice) and it didn't even use maybe 2 tablespoons full.I'm sure the parts dept. guys at Ranger will know how much to get you!! They are first class all the way!
