Re: Paint or Gel on bottom

How was rolling the entire area?How many coats? Have you sprayed a bottom? I was looking at th G100 for spraying but reviews were mixed.

85 Valero Pad

85 Canadian Edition Valero. It has a small (3/8)concave shape to the pad. Is this "factory" or the result of the bad core?
