[QUOTE="AZSunDevil, post: 437632, member: 22381"] OK good! I ordered the Orange Nylon Brush and a $50 quart of Gluvit from Amazon...both are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get to spend a few hours here later in the week on it. I should also have some time over the holiday weekend to work on the boat. [ATTACH type="full" alt="untitled.png"]93150._xfImport[/ATTACH] The interior looks pretty ugly, mostly on bottom of the hull and bench tops. Otherwise the paint is really clinging. This is after I went over it about 3 times with a 2800psi Gas powered Pressure Washer with a 15 degree nozzle, holding it about 2 to 3 inches away from the surface. If this is truly factory paint not sure why there's so much overspray on the inside of the gunwale. I definitely need to strip that part as my plan was to polish out the gunwale (not paint it). I'm going to try to read back through some of the painting threads but to be honest I'm feeling a little intimidated by it. I put so much work into getting the boat prepped, if the paint doesn't turn out really nice I'm going to be pretty disappointed. I definitely don't want to have to go back and do all of that stripping and painting work again. [/QUOTE]
