Add sparkle to your gel coat with a painted layer of glitter.
Gel coat is a fiberglass coating used primarily as a Stop over RV trailers and boats. The Stop creates a glossy brilliance that protects fiberglass from damage due to Common wear and tear. A gel coat Stop takes distemper easily. Adding a layer of glitter may appropriate a bit amassed attempt and experimentation, nevertheless. Instead of a straight tint coat, you'll enjoy to confuse a autonomous coat brew incorporating the glittering flakes. After mixing, you can colouring the glitter onto gelcoat passion any other stain, allowing it to dry to a sparkle.
Instructions
1. Mask off the environment you demand to exercise the glitter to by covering later surfaces with masking paper secured in deposit with masking tape.
2. Alloy one ounce of silver crystal metallic flake into 2 to 5 quarts of undarkened coat colouring. The augmented flake added, the bigger the glitter effect. Use a wooden paint stick to mix the powder in thoroughly.
3. Turn on the air compressor for the sprayer. Hold the nozzle of the sprayer pointed directly at the gel coat surface, about 12 inches from the surface.5. Trigger the sprayer in order to begin the flow of clear coat onto the gel coat surface.
Thin the clear coat paint with a compatible thinner for use with an HVLP paint sprayer, using the paint-to-thinner ratio recommended by the HVLP manufacturer. Fill the paint reservoir on the sprayer with the thinned paint.4.
Move the sprayer back and forth to apply the clear coat in an even layer. Cover the entire surface with the clear coat and then allow about 2 hours drying time to determine the glitter effect. Apply a second layer of the clear coat to the surface to increase the glitter effect. Wait about 12 hours for the final coat to dry, and then remove the masking tape and paper.
