Typically the clear coat on a bass boat is meant to protect the metalflake. You can choose a clear paint or clear gelcoat<\/strong>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Clear gelcoat<\/a> is typically what bass boats use at the factory for UV protection over metalflake but gelcoat<\/a> isn\u2019t as easy to use as paint. Gelcoat<\/a> typically covers 48 sq feet applied at 18 mils thick per gallon.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are often asked if you can you gelcoat<\/a> over gelcoat<\/a>? If the surface is already covered with gelcoat<\/a>, or if the surface is a fiberglass, or polyester resin, then you can. It is relatively easy to to apply gelcoat<\/a> on top of gelcoat<\/a> if you follow the instructions. If the surface is paint, then the paint would have to be removed before applying the gelcoat<\/a>. It is important to remember not to completely rely on gelcoat<\/a> as it you may still need to make repairs to your bass boat after applying gelcoat<\/a>.<\/p>\n
