Guys, my bad, and thanks for the fill-in. The painter referred to the
epoxy primer only when we talked LP - not when we talked regelling,

I suggest that you discuss in detail exactly what and how long that
the various stages of the re-gel coating will require.

I say this because a good friend does fiberglass repairs and in all
cases where he has had t make gel coat repairs it has taken
considerable time to sand and polish the applied gel coat to a
satisfactory finish and my understanding is that labor costs are much
higher in the U.S. then we are used to here.

I would appreciate a heads up on what you learn as I am in the process
of rebuilding an old power boat and the question of painting will come
sooner or later. If something new has been discovered I'd sure like to
be aware of it.
