Restoration progress (with pics)

DO NOT PAINT THE BOAT. I think you misunderstood me. I was talking about a black bimini top.

Yep. I misunderstood. When I said "red top" I meant that the top cap of the boat was red. My bimini also happens to be red.

if you had a black tower then black would prob look good. not sure about white...search 'anniversary' and the most recent 10th anniversary link has pics of white trailer. hard to imagine your boat on it to see how it would look.

who is the trailer manu? can they help find the right burgundy?

[Jetlink]

Yeah, if I get this figured out I'm going to patent the formula. Jetlink is helping me by working through a contact to see if he can mix up something close.

It's all set and shipped, you should have it before lunch tomorrow! Let me know how it turns out!

[TitanTn]

Thanks so much Ben. I told some friends tonight that I'm having my trailer paint shipped in from Chicago. They laugh. I don't. And I say "I'm serious. It's being overnighted as we speak..."

[Jetlink]

What if it's the wrong color? Then what?

In the highly unlikely event that it does not work for Rob, I am sure you can ask nicely and he might give it to you...

So what color is it?

I agree, white would be the best choice if you can't get a color matched burgandy.

The paint should be delivered before noon to TitanTN... FedEx says it should be there by 10:30AM actually but I am betting closer to noon. I'll let Titan show you all what the color is and how it turns out. I can't wait to see it myself though and this should be exciting!

Well, with a few weather delays and a trip to the local FedEx warehouse, I finally got the paint. All I can say is that Jetlink and his buddy nailed the mix. If it doesn't look good, it's my fault for picking the wrong paint chip. My boat is at the lake, so I can't compare in person, but I think this is going to be it. I hope it is anyway, since I've painted the trailer!







Obviously the pics aren't showing the real-life color, but this gives you an idea. Thanks again Ben. I was moments away from throwing in the towel. Come to the Supra Reunion this summer in Tennessee and you too can make friends like this.

[Jetlink]

That does look sharp!!! Hopefully it matches well and I get to see it in person this summer. I might see if my paint wizard wants to come see his work as well!

Hey that looks Awesome! Can't wait to see it at the reunion.
