anybody got this problem too??

[JEFF WHITE]

well,were doing the exterior of the boat over,a total repaint.taking care of the scratches and digmarks and such.pulled the bowstop off and found some nice stuff behind it.some potmarks in the aluminum,and some nice sccratches/gouges also.well,since im doing it over,i made a plate to go from the bowcap to the boweye,bent it at the same angle as the bowcap,put some fusor 111,for those in the know,its a autobody structural adhesive that sets up in 5 min.drilled 5 3/16" holes on each side,then riveted the plate on.



while im doing this repaint,im taking pictures or the complete process,what type of paint/primer-sealer and whathave you,for anyone who wants to attempt it themselves.



i have a complete set of pictures of the bowcap plateing process,if anyone wants to attempt it themselves.i kind of cheated a little.i have access to a sheet metal brake,which makes the bending process easier and uniformly.plus the access to a air rivet gun and such also makes it easier.



anyone wants a copy of the pictures,i could e-mail them to you with a small description of the process and a material list.

Jeff -



This is going to be interesting to see! It's amazing how someone with talent can turn a "good" boat into a "Great" boat!



Can't wait to see the end result in person next June!



me!

right now it is in primer,using dupont prime and seal after sanding all of it down.a lot of battle wounds to sand out!!all the drill bit gouges are gone!!all the decals are gone too.got a friend in the graphics buisness,gonna make me up a set of decals for it.a red and green set of #'s for the boat.



ill get the name and #'s off the cans of paint/primer im using for everyone.the prime and seal is a 2 part primer,need a activator and thinner made for it.if im not mistaken a chrommabase thinner goes in it.it took a little more than a qt of primer to do the boat.the paint were not sure on yet.it might be white again,with a sripe on it.



scott.i kind of got sick looking at it,and cabin fever setting in,we got warm weather here,and buisness is slow,needed something to do on my 1 day off a week were getting.how about sending us out some work for us to do!!a liftgate,repair a van body,something!!!
