    I Just used spray cans to do all of this. Rustolem clear enamel. I was going to buy some automotive stuff to do it but times are tough and I'd rather put money in other projects.

    when I get the other decals put on it will look a little better.

      I've had that happen w those clears. Let it dry, scuff it in a week or so w 600 grit and grab urself a can of upol clear. Get it at a real auto paint shop. Its about $20.00 a can but it will gloss it up like mad. And its an aerosol so its ready to go.

          well at least you got a try out of it to find out. I was going to order that for this repaint but like I said funds are tight lately. Lots of birthdays and other stuff going on too.

          Thanks for the tip on the clear.
          Hope you have been well.

                              Lol... I've only got to run it like twice and once was without the gps but still hit a best of 62.1 mph and I know it has a lot more with a few adjustments plus I haven't run it since I installed the wire drive. I've been to busy playing with my df with 1717 that's the motor I wanna see what it can do... by the way the boat looks great
