[QUOTE="Ironhorse2022, post: 491614, member: 31989"] Dale - thanks a lot for the detailed info - very helpful. I will start assembling those rivets and tools (already have a compressor). Ron - what a gorgeous boat ! I plan to polish my non painted sections as well. I read that sharkhide is a good sealer to use to keep the luster. Do you use something for that purpose ? I’m not sure if the paint scheme is original but I like it a lot too. Unfortunately, up close, the paint job is horrendous (bubbles, alum show thru, etc) so just today, I started with the 220 grit to prep for some more coats. The base coat is Rustoleum topside. I’d prefer a urethane paint (rolled / tipped) but think I probably need to stick to the Rustoleum for compatibility reasons. [/QUOTE]
