Title: C/J 402 New Paint
Post by: FLATMVN on May 10, 2009, 11:46:35 AM
Well guys finely got the new paint on  the boat. Richard and I spent most of the day today masking and painting. We did 4 colors today. White base color was done on the Wed, the Blue was done Thurs, Magenta was laid on yesterday, today we put the yellow with tangerine fade on after that we put a silver with black tape fade stripes on. Tomorrow it will get cleared and it will be finished.
Here are the pics as we went along.

Base Color White

A few more of the finished stripes. I will get more after the clear is on and it is outside in the sun. It is allot brighter that it looks in the pics under the lights.

Clear Coat is on and she is all done. Now it goes back to Richards house for some wood dowels to plug all the holes in the stringers that we won't be needing, and then it goes to advantage boats in Havasu to get the inside gel coated.

Well I have been pretty busy putting the boat back to gether and haven't been keeping up with the pictures. But I did take some andhere they are. First is the day we picked it up fro "Advantage Boats" after they re-gelcoated the inside.

Nick,

All the hardware is the same hardware that came out, we didn't have enough time to gt it re-done.

Ron,

Have a 500in APBA legal spec motor out of a super cat/vee light, that I picked up. Should push it along pretty good.

Well I finely finished the 402. There were a couple of small problems when we water tested it. Had one water leak ( some one for got to tighten the water temp sending capillary nut ) easy fix though. The other was a oil leak around the front of the pan, so I pulled the motor back out and put a new pan gasket and some remodeling to the pan. Should be good to go.:D

Here are a couple shots of it on the water.

If you look in the back ground of the pic in front of Advantage Boats, The red,blue and black boat is a tunnel hull Lavey Craft. One of my customers bought that boat and im building a motor for it right now. My shop is a stones throw from Advantage. Sorry to hi-jack the thread just thought it was cool. Nice float by the way.
