    Very nice project! Don't downplay your new paintjob on the boat due to it being rough and old before...........looks very good now!!

          Looks great! My toy cat is next!!!! Still got that lime paint?

          Now all I need is child labor to sand.

              Very funny! Unfortunately, we leave for FL on Saturday morning and won't be back until following Sunday.

              However, I will say that if your child labor is interested in sanding, I could drop it off with Danny. Seriously though, I need to get the remaining vinyl off before paint and it may be some trouble. I started to peel some, but there are some sections that are obviously going to be more issue.

              I guess I just need to figure out how to get your wife out of town again. So what does she like? Crafts? Hand puppets? Stained glass?

                    Very cool! I'll connect with Danny tomorrow as long as he's available.

                    I'll also give him the money to give to you for that custom paint color you went to so much trouble to get for me as well as for the clear.

                    Thanks brother!

                        Anyways back on Topic I know some are going to be like automotive paint thats to expensive but its really not. You can spray the Createx Auto Air colors with an airbrush or small detail gun if you have access to an air compressor. Then you can take the boat to a autobody shop and have them clear it if you dont want to go to the hassle and deal with the chemicals. 2K is nasty stuff if you do decide to spray it wear long sleeves a resparator and gloves. I could have spent a few bucks on some laquer based paint and sprayed the boat for a few bucks but I wanted to go one step farther for Will.
