Default Dolphinite gel coat in an aerosol

I am just curious if anyone has tried this yet and what results they got. Interesting concept with the MEK in the can and the colour match process.

I would try that in a second. Big time saver. I have tried a similar system that is clear coat and it yeilded super results. With the clear, it will last over a week after being activated just by storing in the fridge

Great idea, but gel coat changes color over time with UV exposure. I think you would need exact color samples to get it to match.

Great idea, however, gelcoat typically shrinks some, so multiple applications are necessary. I would not think this system is very cost effective, as once the MEKP is activated, it has a very short pot life before it sets up in the can.

Have tried multiple times, over multiple days to get in touch with them to get additional info on this. Nothing but crickets.

Buy any gel coat and use a Preval Spray System to make your own aerosol.
