As far as time required, I removed three complete top coats of paint
(about 75 lbs worth) and primers and fillers. brought up the new
coatings and used polyurethane top coat, 18 meter wings, 4 foot wing
root, big constant taper fuse, about 1100 hours.
B.T.W. prestec products ROCK!
Good luck and best

1100 hrs... divide by 20 hours/week = 55 weeks , just over a year of
working in the shop after the full-time job.

YIKES! *I'm really, really glad I've got good ol' Scwabbelack
(spelling?) on my Kestrel... original 1972 gelcoat in great shape.

650 man hrs for club members to refinish ASK-21. Gelcoat off, fill,
contour, respray in acrylic urethane.
About 1/2 that for ASW-19 in gelcoat.
Good news is no need to go to gym for upper body exercise. My doctor
says that, for a fat guy, I have pretty good arms and shoulders.
LOL
