Cabin refinish
 

My cabin is basically unfinished. I can take all the cushions out and there is really nothing else in there.

I want to refinish it to make it look a little nicer. Also, I want a smooth surface that I can wipe down when needed. It was covered with gelcoat from the factory. Whatever I apply it will be with a brush and/or roller.

Should I use gelcoat again? I was thinking about using bildgecoat paint. What does the experts suggest?

well its part way there :D if you really want a nice smooth shiny surface you will need to take a few free weekends and sand that down with 180 to true it a bit then you can roll on a white gell with Duratech high gloss additive. I'm a big fan of gel on high wear surfaces but theres a lot of tedious labor involved.

Thanks Dave. I'm not sure if I want to go through all that sanding. I mainly want to clean it up a bit. It looks like it was just given a quick thin coat at the factory. The cushions cover up the majority of the area.

BTW, where is a good place to buy the supplies you mentioned?

can anybody read this let me know please

For anything to stick and remotely look good it will need to be sanded. Anything that is just a brush on stand alone product will mostly just compound the problem. If it is gel in there now, theres no gettin around sanding.
