Thank you Saleen7, Comment very appreciated man!

Its actually a Cheaper paint, well not really cheaper..Its

like $5.00 for 1) -3oz can..

Its Testors, One Coat Laquer. (Purple-Licious)

I have never used this paint before, I figured Id try it out, I could only afford 2 cans, and yeah it took both cans just to do the top layer of the sponsons.

Ill be using two other base pearls from House of Color if it will hurry its A$$ up and get here!
Im going to break it up on this boat alot to see what she will look like.. maybe she will look so good I wont have to run it to Impress. lol

The paint has set for almost two hours so
I decided to go ahead and pull the tape off and see what she's turning
into...Pure Evil.

Check out the tab I pulled from a Skate Park magizine, This is close
to the same purple, but look at those sick Lightning bolts, I want some
air brushed on top of my purple!

Here's more!

I taped up another area on the bottom of the hull to paint because I hate
to fiberglass the brass tubing in before there is paint under it, then it would just be
a pain to sand and paint under the flex and keep it taped as well.

Here's a few things Iv got done before I head on to bed.
