    Driver is finished being painted. Also finished sanding the hull, resealed part of the hull and after drying just a light sanding and it is ready for primer.

      Primer is on. Now of course a huge crain fly comes and lands on the top of my sponson. So I am sure there will be a little more sanding and one more coat of primer tomorrow.

        Plan is to get the paint done this weekend. But I just got a new 150-600mm lens so playing with that may happen instead.

                  The paint was fine just having problems with the bottom and runs. Going to sand it down again and lay it down and clear the bottom again

                    Jim, if you need them, I have two touch-up sized paint guns and one larger one that you can borrow anytime.

                    Also, after you shoot on a good primer, you might want to look into the Auto Air Colors available at Wesco Auto Paint Supplies here in Renton. 4oz premixed bottles are only about $9.00 and it goes on very nicely with a water cleanup. Then shoot with PPG Clear...

                    Actually, for just WHITE paint... I usually just shoot clear over my primer...

                      I will get it Darin thanks for the offer. I have a touch up gun though I have never used it done most of my painting with my airbrush. This one is rattlecans.
