No sorry I do not. I never made one. Theres been zero demand for it so it was not worth making the mold. I can fill a scoop in the current mold and lay one up but there would be finish work to be done where the scoop was. I would fill it using clay, so it would not be perfect.

I am and Im a bit behind on them as of right now. And now the weather puting me even further back. As for the nitro scheme, I dont have one so I cant garauntee that the lines will flow properly. And If you change the color, even if you tell me what you used, theres pretty much .1% that what I spray would match what you sprayed.

I guess I could try to do it myself, can't ge good at it if you don't try Or how much would a window be?

Road, is this all you want done? Do you want me to leave the frame white as is?

[kronos2]

what do you use to paint them? is it possable to get the windshield clear?

[tiqueman]

Epoxy on the windshield and PPG base / clear for the blue.

I lay them up in epoxy and cloth so there is no way for a clear windshield. Id suppose if you wanted it clear, it could be modded, cut out, and a piece of lexan heated and bent to shape. But 1 blow over and youd probably knock it out and flood the boat. You could do an interior backing frame and glass it in to help reinforce it, but thats not to say the window itself wouldnt break. Ive actually thought about doing it for myself. I would not offer it for sale as it would be a lot of work and I doubt Id be able to be compensated for it. Besides, like I said, always that possibility of a blow out and then Id have upset customers... not worth the risk.

Will the who what if you dont paint what????

thanks for the help

Your welcome. Let me know if you need any more info on painting. I purposely lay these up in epoxy w/ an epoxy topcoat because it a lot easier to get paint to stick to it rather than gelcoat. But either way, its all in the prep before laying the color.

Road rash, clear out your inbox. Your hatch is ready to go out.

Scott, yours is on the table now

got it today, looks great

I started painting it, I scuffed it with a light sandpaper and wased it with water to clean if off. The first coat I did really light, like a lexon body. There are spots where it is staying white no matter how many times I spray it, I am doing like coats and waiting in between them. It looks like when you dye a rim and the dye does not go where glue is. I am using krylon gloss paint. Should I let it sit over night and wet sand it with 1000 paper and spray it one more time?
