stringers look good?
« on: July 08, 2011, 06:32:15 AM »
So im thinking about not carpeting the stringers.
they are in great shape but not pretty. How do i doctor them up to be clear, smooth and shiny?

Contact TRG over on Performance Boats, I have seen a couple boats where he did his magic on the stringers and made them match the colors of the boat, really a classy look in my opinion.

I really dont know much about it, but if you PM him he could probably help you. I think he does Paint and Fiberglass work for a living.

sand em down, new glass, LOTS of sanding and wet sanding to get em smooth and then buff the shit out of em with a DA and rubbing compound.
