Fiberglass work isn’t rocket science but it is hard work if you are working upside down on the bottom. People that do it DIY can get really good results, experts may get a slightly better job mostly because they know more tricks of the trade than DIYers. If I were younger and didn’t have back and shoulder problems I would have no hesitation on doing it. But not anymore. I did do a blister job back about 20 years ago. It was tough work, especially in Arizona where it was 110, but not technically difficult. I would follow, to the letter, the directions and advice from the paint manufacturer. We did a whole bottom blister job and painted the entire boat with 2 part polyurethane paint using the roll and tip method. It came out beautifully. We followed the directions as closely as possible.
