Painting Fiberglass Shell
The exterior gel coat seems to be gone, the camper is down to just bare fiberglass. What is the best solution? Anyone who has done this I'd be interested to hear results, since I already know ideas....

A friend did his 44' sailboat roll & tip. Looked pretty good provided you did not get too close to it.
Roll an tip will never look as good as gelcoat, but you can make it close !
Apply at least 3 or 4 coats of paint carefully following directions for subsequent coats. Let it FULLY CURE ! This is critical and can take a week or more depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.
Then, fire up the power buffer and some light buffing compound. You will be surprised at the results ! Pretty close to a spray job or gelcoat.
