[QUOTE="Chasinchrome84, post: 407119, member: 18192"] Day 4 and 5 Wasnt planning on it at first but decided to go all out and prep the outside of the boat along with the inside of the boat for paint at the same time. While i was planning on painting the boat myself, after all this prep work, i am not sure why i dont just drag the boat down to an auto shop and have them spray the inside and outside for me and save me the time. Figure they can spray whatever color i want along with bake it in there oven to harden it faster than i could. Price depending, should get me back to the rebuild sooner than later.
