    Default Gel quantity

    What would be a general ball park quantity for regel of a southwind tunnel dragster. Black with clear on top. I am thinking of re-gelling Money$ucker and cutting down the pod. Just looking for a ballpark.

    Between black and clear should I wetsand to knock down any orangepeel?

    are you going to add duratec to your gel as a additive. it will help smooth it otherwise it will look like a cantaloupe peel

    As much as I love wet sanding, It sounds like a good idea using duratec. I have no experience with Gel just paint.

    No problem Cyco Designs, you know.....you and I really should not be friends, considering what I do for a living and what you do 50% for a living?
    It kind of contradicts itself a smidge! Ill get over it!
    Is this for your SWTD?
