[dana]

Propainter, as always, your work is absolutely stellar! Love it!
Budman, I would say you nailed that purple... You gonna do decals or anything?

[SirBudman32]

Dana, Yes plan on painting on windshield and strips just letting paint set before I do.

[Visual Perfection]

Lots of Nice Boats in here. I like all the variety. Dana I love that color combo, looks awesome.

Nothing real fancy but I painted my Fastech and Shockwave this past month

I had these in another thread with my "fleet" but I will toss them in here as well.

Here is the fastech: (I posted two other pictures below just to show how it currently looks being I recently painted the windshield black and added some stripes and broke one of the seats off lol)

Nice fountain boat. Which hull is that? I can't imagine running something that nice in fear of ruining the paint job.

The blue windshields were a result of having some scrap of that color left over from a wrap they were doing at work and me being too lazy to mask and spray them. :olleyes:

Dougspaint, that is one big bird. (I'm a jet junkie too) :drool:

If only I lived in Florida..... That Mono looks amazing!! I am in the middle of painting my DF 41 Mono. Filled a load of crack as it was previously used as a nitro racing hull. Wet sanded it all down. Filled in a few old hardware holes. Now I just need to prime, paint and clear. I am going with Ford Signal Green as the main colour but I may add a bit of blue in after:smile:

That's some more real eye candy but shudder to think about what it might look like after I tried racing it.

[dana]

That's friggin sweet! Bill, I was thinking about paint protection recently. I grabbed a bunch of scraps of clear vinyl leftover from a Porsche bumper. This is the good stuff. I call it "stick on clearcoat" haha. But it is almost invisible and much thicker than a decal. Hard to puncture too... So I thought the stuff would be good for racers. Do you guys use this stuff?

I like using vinyl wraps when I can one of the artsy people at work to run me some. I did the sides of my Falcon cat with a simple plasma fire. Great thing is if it gets scaped up all I have to do is wait until I can catch them printing to tack me on a short run.

[dana]

What I mean is the clear stone chip protector.

Sweet looking cat and paint job. Is this the 60" super daytona hull?

[Espresso]

here is my latest, still need to clear it.
You should consider a matte finish. It looks real nice without the super shiny clear.

[PRO PAINTER]

The Fountain is the 58" from http:?www.centralrchobbies.net
The Fightercat is the 37" CF LE
Nice fountain boat. Which hull is that? I can't imagine running something that nice in fear of ruining the paint job.

[PRO PAINTER]

Thats WOULD look awesome actually!! but gloss clear the windshield. SCHUUWEEEEEEETT!!

[SirBudman32]

Ok all done. Came out pretty good for using buzz bombs (rattle can) I think. Wife is happy with it and thats what counts. Maybe not as nice as some of the other boat on here, But I would be afraid of using them and this one will be used as wife's first boat and my rescue boat.

How many hours do you painters spend on one of those larger hulls? Design wise, do you sit down and plan it out or does the ideas come together as you prep? All of them so far are very creative. I just wish my wallet could afford you services.

Great question! I always get stumped on the design portion

[dana]

How come every time I reply to a quote a picture of a tunnel hull is attached to it? Anyone?

[dougspaint]

I usually just draw out something on a large piece of paper and then use some color pencils to figure out how I want the colors to go and then figure out the pinstripe colors while painting. It can take some time to figure it all out in the layers process, to get the look that you want. but the intitial sketch isnt very long to do. Just depends. and prepping the hulls is a great time to think about what you are going to do. since sanding is pretty much mindless work. lol. And the cost may surprise you. it always depends on the theme and colors to be used and the level of detail that you want to go. There is a paintjob for almost everyones budget I think. but thats just my opinion.

[SirBudman32]

Here's a look at my latest, not done still need color sand and clear.

7748877489774907749177492

Very Nice! You paint that yourself??

[PRO PAINTER]

It's tough to get an entire boat shiny using spray can clearcoat. You have to get the whole boat wet with clear at once and the rattle can stuff dries too fast to make it easy to pull off. Best bet is the Rustoleum Clearcoat, but like I said, it's gonna be a challenge for sure.
