Yes. Would actualy like smooth finish similar to Gelcoat. Current surface is rough layup with that old style splashed color on it.

Ditto, you could use imron too. I'm working on repainting my bilge now using awlgrip which can also be shined up, but gelcoat would be the best. Awlgrip is just A LOT easier to apply.

Have you started sanding yet? If so, how does it look so far? Was are you considering for paint?
