I have mine done with Gel coat again. Done by former employees of Sharpe. Pithane supposedly is slick when wet. Larry Blevins said material put in pithane to lessen slick surface wears away leaving a pitted place and this would be hard to clean years later. Pithane not supposed to chalk like Gel coat tho. My first roof lasted 12 years. If new job lasts that long that will do me.
