[QUOTE="Texas, post: 215692, member: 6556"] I went with a different color scheme; hunter green and royal red (Used Rust-Oleom oil-based protective enamel, glossy. About 10 bucks a quart, not too bad.) Wasnt positive on how it would turn out, but I really like the way it looks (and if you don't, I dont care to hear about it [-X ) A friend of mine told me I should have used a spray gun instead of brushing it, but like I said I am a newbie and doing the best with the knowledge I have #-o I am going to paint the side strip black, Ill put pics up of the finished paint as soon as I get that done! Really enjoy working on this project so far, still a ways to go until its done but I hope to finish this and another project before fall semester starts... in 30 days! Any of you pro's have suggestions as to things I should avoid doing as I move forward into putting a deck floor in? (Tips on wiring, live wells, height of plywood, etc.) Also i forgot to mention before that I have an outboard from the 50-60's, not exactly sure, but it looks to be 5-10HP Sea King (the engine cowl is not stock, nor does the boat title specify anything about the motor. Ive done some research and Im pretty sure of the make just not the model.) It runs but I plan to do some work on it before I hit the water alot. TM 40lbs. Thanks for looking, I will keep posting pictures as the project furthers!! [/QUOTE]
