anyone have any idea what the RAL9006 white aluminum gel coat would come out like?
would it be uniform metalic or patchy swirly paterns after lamination?

Nope it looks cock on tele magenta is a kinda pinky purple.

Ally gel coat is pants and needs to be sprayed, if you have ever used ally paint then you will get my drift. I tried ally gel years ago as wanted to do my car ally and black but the gel swirls as you brush it and like any messing about with odd effects with gel you don't know till it's made and popped from mould.

I have sprayed gel coat on wave skis and the effects you can get are wicked BUT as it's sprayed it tends to be thin so any scratches tend to show the colour underneath. Oh and spray gel stinks far worse than brushing gel....
