the point is I do not have mucht trust into the paint which is available here. I sailed a couple of painted boats and got a few of them professional repainted with the right paints, still none of them was as durable as gelcoat...

in contrast they do a perfect gelcoat job over here. the redid a couple of our daggerboards and they turn out like new. we gave them a old 470 and they redid the whole deck and bottom and it also looks like a new boat. so I know with gelcoat I know what I get. the only worry ist the weight penalty. the boatsyard estimated 12 kg each hull...
but I assume that is the quantity they need but a significant part of it will be lost when it dried? can anyone comment on this?

jake, maugan mentioned you did it before?
