[QUOTE="BassBlaster, post: 219156, member: 2865"] So, got some more work done today. The wife had the day off so I had a free evening for a change. I usually have my kids every evening cause the wife works second shift. Its great that I get to spend so much time with my little ones but it really hurts the boat progress!! After work today, I spent another couple hours with my grinder and cup brush, cleaning the rest of the oxidation on the areas to be painted. I also got it primed with the self etchng primer. Tomorrow, I plan to hit it lightly with some 400 grit and start laying the paint to it. It will be camo. I ordered stencils from Reelfoot Custom Camo. I'm using a pattern called "River Bottoms". Should match up pretty close to the camo seats I purchased. I'm excited to finally be making so much progress on the boat after waiting for a year to get the welding done!! Sorry, still no pics. I ran out of daylight. I actually finished priming with the porch light, lol. I promise to take pics tomorrow of its current state and pics of each layer of the camo paint as it goes on. I havnt seen any threads really about camoing a boat so I'll take lots of pics and if my paint job turns out good, maybe I'll do a little write up. Thanks for looking. Oh, BTW, my birthday is Sept. 29. I have set my deadline for a complete project for the weekend following my birthday. The fall Crappie bite should just be heating up then!!! The clock is tickin'!!
