	title of this thread your message As already discussed once the gel-coat is gone you've got issues of more soil creeping into the fibers, as well as the fibers creeping into your skin. I had an old drilled out chair that I took to an auto-body shop and had them spray a clearcoat on. The result was much better than painting. A solid coat of paint makes the surface appear dead and lifeless. The clear-coat preserved the organic quality of the fiberglas, even if it didnt quite match up with the original gelcoat. (The gelcoat is more integrated into the fiberglas, whereas the clear-coat definitely 'sits' on the surface. However, clearcoating is the closest thing I've found to the original finish) Also - like you've mentioned, it preserves the history of the chair - which is why we like them right? If not preserving the history you may as well get one of the new polyprop Eames chairs. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
