Gelcoat spray workshops?

[Fishery Pokery]

Hi,
Bit of an unusual one, but does anyone know if there is anywhere local- ish that can spray gelcoat a prepped hull, and how much it might cost?
I know it is possible to spray gelcoat as I have read quite a lot about it in the last few days, but looking at the costs of compressors, guns, etc, it maybe cheaper to pay someone who can spray and has the gear already.
I would do all the compounding at the end.
Cheers,
Geoff

Thanks Mark, wasn't sure if I would get any replies to this.
Checked that site and it looks perfect. I assumed it would be car paintshops that might do this on the side, but your place makes more sense
Just need to speak to them now to see what they charge. See if it comes in at anywhere near what materials, tools and my time will cost.
I read one of your past posts in which you said you regelled your first boat, like you would tart up your first car, and know exactly what you mean, lol!

Thanks for your help,
Geoff

I did. flo coat applied with a good roller, couple of coats, then sand sand sand and polish polish polish and polish some more with a wee touch up here and there where I'd sanded through the gel coat

it can be done but is tedious, dirty and dusty

nec always used to be quite cheap for a lot of stuff, so you it might work out all right
