Hey i'm looking for a thread or info on getting a hull painted. I'd like to get a white Spartan hull and either paint it myself or have a professional do it.
If i do it myself do i need a paint gun/sprayer? I have experience painting up RC truck bodies, but painting boats seems to be a different beast.
Since the Spartan uses a plastic hull, would i just lightly sand the body down, wash and dry it, paint it up with a gel coat and then finish it with a couple clear coats?
If i were to put flame graphics on the front and sides, is masking the right way to approach it or are there sticker graphics that go underneath the clear coats?
Any major differences between painting a fiberglass hull and a plastic hull?
If i went the professional route and had someone else do it for me, who do you guys use or recommend?
Thanks! -Mark
