[QUOTE="Gilby, post: 513181, member: 26056"] Thanks. I have done a few smaller things. This was the first time painting something of this magnitude. It turned out pretty good. LOTS and LOTS of prep. I had never been so tired of sanding in my life. Even though pretty much every last part of the boat will be brand new, I tried to stick with the "old school" look of the old boats. Just more modern colors. The "alumacraft" on the side is a sticker. Put it on and did a light sanding on it hoping it would look more like paint and not a sticker before applying clear. Turned out pretty good. By touching it, you can just barely feel the rise of the sticker. Overall, not bad for using a harbor freight spray gun! [/QUOTE]
