Got it thanks. Will go out today.

[tiqueman]

Ed, your hatch is curing and will go out Wednesday or Thursday. I used a real automotive clear, rather than Duplicolor on this one... wow what a difference. It takes 24hrs to cure, I shot it this afternoon. May be best to wait until Thursday to pack it up just to be sure nothing happens to it.

Thanks a bunch,
Scott

[big ed]

wow! looks awsome! cant wait to get it! thanks scott

[tiqueman]

Thank you. I could probably mail it tomorrow, she feels pretty cured, but Id feel better waiting until Thurs. if thats ok w/ you. I just dont want any of the packing messing w/ it incase its still soft.

I still cant get over how much more shine is on it w/ this clear rather than the Duplicolr. Blows my mind.

I will try and get a pic of it tomorrow in the sunlight.. if/ when it comes out. I shoulda done that today but didnt think about it.

As always.....A great job! I can hardly wait to get mine out on the water. Need to put some flotation on mine first. I don't want to lose it. It really changes the look of the BJ26.

[tiqueman]

Thanks Mr Wilson! I cant wait for you to get it out there either. At the races this past weekend, I had mine out there, which is of course has a aftermarket paint scheme. Everyone who looked at it asked what kinda hull it was. When I told them, they all said "Really?" It does for sure change the look quite a bit.

[tiqueman]

Ed, your hatch went out today. PM has tracking info.

Thanks,
Scott

[roadrashracing]

I sent you a pm, I think its time

[tiqueman]

Got it and replied.. LOL, that didnt take long.

[big ed]

[tiqueman]

EDIT: yeah I just looked at the pic... it doesnt do that clear justice at all....

[jmsask]

Got them today all I can say is WOW! It's not the same boat it's better than I expected!
I cant get over how it changes the hole boat. My wife asked me when I bought the new boats when I told her it was only new hatch's I had to show her the boat's with the stock hatch's to prove they were my BJ's I had before.Lol
Great job!
If your thinking about buying a new boat and you have a BJ buy one of these and you will be impressed with the look of your BJ with one of these!

I will take one next month I will let you know

I will take one next month I will let you know

Sounds good. I will be laying a few up this week, so it will be ready.

[forescott]

OK, I'm ready to order a painted hatch w/graphics for the blackjack. How do I proceed!

[tiqueman]

Hey Scott. Thats all you needed to do. Unfortunately Im burning at both ends of the candle right now. The soonest I can have a painted one out is probably 2 - 3 weeks. I havent had a chance to lay any up. If your definitley interested, I will pull it closer to the front burner.

Thanks,
Scott

[forescott]

I'm not in any hurry. Just let me know when you have one ready and I'll send you $$$. Thanks!!

[tiqueman]

Will do Scott. I will turn my focus towards getting one done. Thanks

[JackBlack26]

These look awesome!! Where do I order one of these from? I have a nitro hull that I want to convert to electric but I broke the hatch a long time ago. Can you send me your paypal and a shipped price to 91710 for a plain white hatch, please?
Thanks
Rafael

[tiqueman]

Order from right here in the thread. Ive put you on my list of "hatches to get done asap".
thanks for the compliment
Scott

I am ready for one, do you have an window decals at all? I am not good masking, I would really just like to oaint it and apply a decal and done.

[tiqueman]

Nope, no window decals. I just mask and paint. I can paint the window if youd like for a minimal fee and leave the frame white. Then you can just mask one entire shape outline of the frame, rather than isolating one or the other or both.

[roadrashracing]

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?

[tiqueman]

There you go. If your not trying, your not learning. Heres a couple quick tips for you. For super clean lines and radius's, pick up some 1/4" pinstripe tape from the autoparts store. Or, pick up a roll of the blue 3M vinly mask tape. You can get it in several diferent sizes from ridiculously narrow to pretty wide. I found it at a local auto paint supply shop. It peels much more gently on painted surfaces since its tru detail mask. You can outline the window, or frame etc w/ it, the follow it w/ regular masking tape. I also use alot of the 1/4" tamiya mask from the LHS.

You could also try the spray mask you can also get at the LHS. I got some to try but have not experimented yet. You spray it on, let it dry, use an x-acto and cut out the areas you want to paint, peel it away, spray, the peel the rest of it off. Sounds like cool stuff. I just havent tried it yet.

[roadrashracing]

About how much is shipping one one of these?

[tiqueman]

12-15 dollars with tracking
