looking really good. the Tetra will need a fuselage face lift in the next few years. not a total gel/paint removal like you've done, but still a huge amount of labor.

Rolled on two coats of Duratec Vinyl ester surfacing primer, sanding tomorrow.

Hi Richard,

Thank you for documenting this.

Watching with interest, I may do the same this winter.

How smooth/even was the primer after rolling, much different than spraying? I rolled marine PU on a trailer and it flowed very nicely.

What will you be using as a color/top coat?

Thanks,

Mike Carris
