Dave what topside paint are you using?

When I paint with the gun I use RM paint products. I use RM DE-17 etching primer then a good sealer over the primer. Then single stage paint.

I’m so stoked,

Yesterday I got my welds grinded down and started prepping for paint. My friend has a make shift paint booth at his house so we’re going to spray it there. I think I will be able to get all of the prep and prime done this week and spray Saturday :mrgreen:

Prep prep prep that's I felt that I did for two weeks now I'm waiting for weather conditions to finish painting. Can't wait to see your up dates this weekend Dave boat's looking good

Welds look great Dave. Nice work!

 

[Country Dave]

Hey thanks guys,

I hate prepping but it’s a necessary evil. :LOL2: The hardiest thing by far is the prepping the rail. It’s so tedious. Proper prep is 90% of the paint job IMO. Hoping it turns out well.

Good deal Dave, looking forward to seeing more!

 

[Country Dave]

I’ve got paint. :mrgreen:

Paint got here yesterday and I looked at it last night. I thought it might be a little too dark but its spot on sexy. I thought I would post a couple of pics of the splotch I put on the hull but it’s just too damn sexy. :LOL2: I’m going to let you all wait until it’s done to post any pics.
The weather is a getting a little colder and although my friends place is good to paint at it’s not heated. Prep is going good and I’m hoping we’ll spray on Saturday.

 

[Badbagger]
