Well I dropped her off at my painter, he had 2 boats that just got sprayed and they looked awesome! !
I'm using supermarine paint SM1000 and white/grey/burnt orange are the colors ... said it would be a week and a half till iver her back ....
cannot wait to see what she looks like!
Took a couple snaps shots of what has done already !!! http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...6/54a3f983.jpghttp://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...6/850a6cdb.jpghttp://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...6/468c6684.jpg
Looks good! These boats have a lot of vinyl in them.
Purty...did you make those center sections removable?
WOW I love that color. Wait didnt you sew those up or did you give in and send it out??
Looks awesome! How are you embedding your pictures on your posts? I find these stay where as the attachments go away after awhile.
Ob- I sent the interior to get done by my buddie James , I wanted back support so the whole middle section and seat base acts as a flap to clean and add support An so fort , so ya it removes but still attached to the bottom .
Jet - yeah man I gave up , with out a walking foot sewing machine the vynil will not feed right , so I sent it off but he gave me a great price and it's I'n lewisville if ur interested ... He is doing the whole boat for 1200.00

I have a couple of questions about Your paint. Is the etching primer that You purchased an epoxy? Also is Your painter priming the gelcoat , or did He sand it down to fiberglass? I'm seeing a lot more automotive finishes on boats these days , and I like the looks. Should be less maintenance than gelcoat right?

jeff- Look up super marine paint {sm1000}
I washed and de greased and sanded most of the boat with 320 grit , just to break down , then i made some minor stress crack repairs with a razor blade and body filler .. he is going to finish the rest
The paint itself is a one part hybrid epoxy resin with pigmet of choice , it's literary 3 resins in one but cures with oxygen instead of hardener ...
also the etching primer is a must with any paint on any fiberglass product , this paint hardens like hard enamel so if its scratched or scuffed you can sand it out and buff back to a shine . personally i have never used this paint and have took a risk at spending all this money with no prior results , but I have great faith it will turn out great ...
less maintenance ... idk ? but deff wont chalk up or go dull . and i also got two different etching primers white for the (White/ Grey) and red oxide for the (orange)
