Another noob question;
I have a 78 GT-150, that is silver metal flake, the finish is dull and rough. It still sparkles in the sun, but I can't tell if the rough surface I am feeling is the flakes themselves or if it is the "Clear" the previous owner applied with a spray can?? Yuck!!
It would build my confidence if I knew if Glastron used a clear coat or mixed the clear in the gelcoat...
I don't want to send it into the shop to be cleared if I can cut and buff, but at the same time I don't want to trash the flakes by sanding them.
Does anybody shoot huge "70's" flake anymore?
YouTube - 78 Glastron GT-150, Silver Bullet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FupIsSicaag) Just a walk-around.
But here's what it's "Supposed" to look like...
