I just have a waterskiing direct  drive towboat now. Had an 18' Caribbean before that. Nothing too special, just a Gen V 454 all prettied up, with a nice little bump to it.

in my gallery I have pictures of my old boat... I'm not sure he's got the right guy with the over-the-top boat... I just have a waterskiing direct  drive towboat now. Had an 18' Caribbean before that. Nothing too special, just a Gen V 454 all prettied up, with a nice little bump to it.

Whoops, my bad. I did have you confused....sorry about that

Not sure what your figuring for the paint, but... 2qt's blue and one qt red should do it. Depending on how thick you lay it on,
most first time paint jobs guys lay it on thick and run out. You only need enough to coat it for colour, two medium wet coats ;D
I'm guessing you already figured out from the botom how much you will need for the top in white...  unless you done that already  ;)
At least you will have a little red and blue left over for the trailer details if you paint it white to match.
Like the preview look! can't wait to see your progress next.

are you laying the red and blue over white? of just primer ?

Okay Rebel. You've tipped everybody off that you've painted before. Hop the phuckin ferry and get your butt down here to finish this thing off.   ;D

I'm planning on shooting a white epoxy as a sealer, then followed with a couple coats of white base. After that, I'll then start laying out the lines and shoot the red next and then cover everthing up and shoot some blue.  I added a wrinkle today by buying my wife a 00 brush and directions to practice up laying out some lines. She's really gifted in the artsy stuff and I'm thinking could stripe the colors before I shoot the clear. It would be really cool if she can pull it off. If she can't oh well, the whole damn boat will probably look like a disaster anyhow so whats to lose?

On a side note, I've blocked this thing till I'm blue in the face and it looks really good.  Given that the blue might show any flaws I layed 2 more wet coats of 2k this morning and am going to block that out to make sure I've got everything.  Next step is the final masking of the floor and bottom and the construction of a temp paint booth inside the shop..  Stay tuned

ps........hope these stupid storms aren't tearing you up on the island. They've worked us over pretty good down here in Washington

Thanks Greg.  As folks alot younger than me say, I'm stoked!  Couldn't be any happier. Sprayed one more batch of really thick 2K (mp182 this time) and blocked it out.

Pushed it outside now and am putting away all the sanding and painting supplies that I don't plan on having to use again anytime soon.

Now it's time to scrub the garage up.........yuk

Quick correction after I talked to some folks. You don't put your pinstriping on before you blow your clear on. You put a couple coats of clear on and let that set up and then wet sand it, lay on your pinstriping (this allows you to wipe off the stripe and start over if you screw up) and then blow 2 to 3 more coats of clear over everything to bed in the stripes... 

Stay tuned

It also allows everything to look really deep.  You'll get a 3D look to the entire paint job as well.

Well, many large dairy and horse farms were flooded.  The water came up so fast that they didnt have anywhere to go. Dead cattle, horses, pigs, etc.... You kinda get the picture..... I dont even like watching the news anymore. The quantity is so great that the health department doesnt want them burying anymore because of health concerns.
