A previous owner painted some kind of anti-skid on most of the topsides, and in
some places it's flaking off. All it's actually done is give mildew a solid
grip to grow so I have to pressure wash every few months.
I've got no experience with gelcoat and fibreglass, but from what I have been
able to put together, I can try and scrape the coating and residue off, then
use progressively higher grit hand sanding, finishing with a buffing wheel to
get the surface as smooth as can be done.
I have a number of small cracks and spiderwebbing that I'll need to address at
the same time. It's going to have to be painted once everything is done.
Thoughts on removing the coating and smoothing the surface for painting? Thanks.
