For those that have sprayed gel coat...what's a decently priced gun to use for this application? I was thinking of a gravity feed setup rather than a siphon feed type. I live right by a Northern Tool and was gonna pick one up. Here's the link if you guys have any input for what's worked for you (nozzle size, cutting viscosity, etc.) let me know. I'm applying to bottom of ski only. I've sanded the bottom clean, down to fiberglass.

Anyone use acetone to cut the gel coat? I was thinking of cutting the first 2 coats with that formula (2 parts gelcoat to 1 acetone) and the final with gel coat/duraclear @ 1:1.

Thanks boys.
