Catman,
Interlux does have a catalyst. Its not crap.

You havent convinced me to spray gel coat, the hassle of buying/renting/borrowing a sprayer is a nonstarter. Add the learning curve on the equipment, learning curve on spraying it on and then you still have to SAND??? No f***ing way my friend.

Plus roll and tip is one level safer than spraying, you dont breath the vaporized product, only the fumes, and if you've got a good respirator, thats not an issue. Also, roll and tip, doesnt require a space suit to keep the vaporized product off your skin/eyes/ears/face/hands/arms/legs or whatever else you left exposed. Just a good mask and good set of eye protection. Roll and tip, toss the roller and clean a brush when you're done or toss the brush. Easy.

I've faired with epoxy/filler, wetsanded with 200grit, and once I paint it (primer and paint) its done. End of story. No equipement issues, no further interaction required. Plus, my BN friend is going to assist me and he's used Interlux before with great results.

Plus paint looks better than gelcoat, gelcoat is dull, who cares if Paint scrathes, its going to scratch on the bottom, I'll never see those. If it gets too scratched up, I'll paint it again in 3 years, or I'll sell it.

Paint is deep and rich looking. The reflection from Interlux is mirror like. You can actually see yourself in it.

No contest on this one.
