What is poly paint? What are the
pros and cons of poly paint compared to gel coat? Hi Miguel, There are two "Poly" paints used on sailplanes, Polyeurathane and Acrylic Urathane. I just repainted my Genesis 2 with Acrylic Urathane and found it very easy to work with. Preped the non-damaged areas by contouring with 60 grit, followed by 220 and then paint with 3 medium coats. Wet sandad with 600wet and 800wet, then wool buffer and liquid rubbing compound. The Genesis 2 and LAK -17 are painted with Acrylic Urathane by the manufacturer. The only down-side that I am aware of, is the softer paint (urathane) may blister more quickly, if left too long in a wet trailer JJ Sinclair
