Thanks when the customer called and wanted them in the paintjob I had so many ideas but he wanted simple. and that sometimes says enough. Thanks... Doug

Where are you located Doug? I'm very interested in getting a custom job on a 37" CF hull I have. The first one is mine. The second is one I'd like to mimick.

Any idea on cost? If your close enough to me (I'm in Buffalo, N.Y.) I would consider shipping to you and getting her done. Let me know what you think, JJ.

I will one up that one. If you have me do it I will paint the realistic flames over top of the carbon fiber that you have. So you will see the carbon fiber under the flames, and to make it look even more realistic I will make it look as if there are a few ripped open spots in the carbon and flames are coming out of that. You electric guys get that from time to time dont you? I live in Rockledge Fl. your boat would be under 60 bucks I think to ship here.

I like the "one up"! I think ripped would look awesome

Along with the CF showing,

Think about it and let me know an about average price. I'll have to start saving my pennies again!

Hey Doug, not to get off topic, but I have another 37" CF Cat that I have sealed my decals in with 2 part epoxy from Illstreet.com. The end result was good, but I have some ripples in the finish I'd like to smoothen out. Do you have any suggestions on wet sanding epoxy? Is it possible? I'm worried about heating up the epoxy to the point of softening it and ruining it. Should I try to add another coat to fill it in? Any suggestions are more than welcome!

**dougspaint** · 09-06-2011, 08:14 AM

Without seeing what you have going on its hard to say what step to start with but, If its just a little bit of material wave then you can use a stiff smooth block and wet sand with 1500-2000 and flatten it out like you want and then buff with a rubbing compound. you can buff by hand but of course it will take longer. hope this helps.

**svtfrank** · 09-08-2011, 05:55 PM

What kind of hull is that? can we get a pic of the inside?

**Brushless55** · 09-08-2011, 08:27 PM

you really do some nice work Doug!

**dougspaint** · 09-09-2011, 12:52 AM

Thanks brushless I appreciate it, I have to now this is what Im doing for a living so no more Krylon and finger paint... That hull is an Expresscraft c-54 (54inchs) they are great running boats. the BOMBA has had good luck with running them in there races. I think right now its a GTX and a C-54 that are grabbing up the top honors. I will take some pics of its inside when I go back up to expresscraft here in the next few days...

**dougspaint** · 09-09-2011, 04:44 PM

Here is some pictures of my own boat. Not the prettiest but thats the way it goes for a painter always making everyone elses stuff look good and never have time for your own. Its a Exspresscraft Lightning cat. 48 inchs. 011.jpg 013.jpg 014.jpg 016.jpg 025.jpg

**Brushless55** · 09-25-2011, 12:48 AM

And again, amazing work Doug!

I need to find something for you to paint!!

do you do Trex-600 Heli canopies?

**jj2003** · 09-25-2011, 12:51 AM

Man Doug, that area 51 is awesome! Killer work dude!

**dougspaint** · 09-25-2011, 01:32 AM

Thanks, you two seem to be my main posters on here... I must have to give yall a discount or something lol. That area 51 is destroyed. I run boats with the guy that owns it he built my motor up for me. he was running it across the lake and lightning hit the lake on the other side and the boat stayed wot all the way until it hit about a 35 degree embankment and flew over a bunch of palm trees and onto a gravel path way. It was about 300 feet from the water. It had a highly modified and tuned s 520 in it that really screamed.

**jj2003** · 09-25-2011, 01:34 AM

Man what a loss! Has he replaced it yet? If and when he does, of course you must post what you have done!

I wont be looking for a discount as your work is stellar in my opinion. Maybe just a special "touch" or something, lol ! It may be a while but I must have you paint my boat come tax return season. I'll have enough cash to have you do your "magic"!

**dougspaint** · 09-25-2011, 04:13 PM

That sounds great I appreciate it. I will be looking forward to doing it for you. Here is my latest boat. There is a thread on how I painted this one each step of the way on another site. The dock.018.jpg 020.jpg 021.jpg 025.jpg 027.JPG
