[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 387046, member: 6937"] Since I got the bottom Line-X'ed I figured I might as well freshen up the rest of the paint job, starting with the black above the waterline. So, I taped it all out, and got my HVLP gun set up, and shot it last night. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0604.JPG"]75513._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0605.JPG"]75514._xfImport[/ATTACH] No clear coat. That's how it comes out when you spray it from an HVLP. This is Interlux Brightside paint, thinned with just a little bit of 216 thinner (xylene) I wiped down the boat, sanded it with 220 grit on a DA, and anywhere there was bare metal, I shot it with some zinc chromate primer. Now that it's painted, I ran a thin bead of black 3M 5200 all the way around the edge of the line-x, including underneath the boat where it meets the edges of the jet intake and the tunnel. This will prevent any edges from peeling, hopefully. Now I just need to get the interior re-painted with Hatteras off-white, and it'll look like brand new. [/QUOTE]
