Arizona | I want to cover a couple repair patches on my I20 mast(CF). I added a CF/epoxy patch about 2 1/2 diameter to each side of the mast at the rotator attachment. Can I use gel coat? It seems to have gel coat over a primer or transition material from the factory.

South Carolina | It has an Imron or some other two part paint system on it. I would use paint instead of gelcoat.

Florida Suncoast, Dunedin Caus... | Depending on the epoxy, Gel coat (polyester) may not harden or it could react badly.
If matching the paint is an issue, use something close and find a couple stickers to cover the repaired area.

Arizona | I do have some Imron white. I guess I'll try that. Can that go directly on the repair/ current primer/ current paint?
