I sanded my UL-1 first. Remember prep is the key. I sanded it good to be sure the paint would stick. Made sure there were no glossy spots on the boat. I used 100, 150, than 200 grit sandpaper. Than the primer went on. After the first coat of primer I used a wet 2000Abralon pad to smooth it out. Than another coat of primer. I believe 3 coats of primer I used and after the 3rd coat I used the 2000Abralon pad again.
After each coat of paint, I rubbed her down with a wet 2000Abralon pad. Wanted her to not only look smooth but feel smooth to the touch. Did the same thing with the Lacquer clear that I put on. Rubbed her down with a wet 2000Abralon pad after the clear was dry and than hit it with a 2nd and 3rd coat of clear. Doing the same with the 2000Abralon pad. After the 3rd coat of clear dried, I used some liquid car polish to really give it some more pop.
I'll have to get another picture up of how shiny she looks now with the added coats of clear on it. I may put one more coat of clear, not sure though. She looks good now.
Check out my album and you'll get an idea of the steps. I used Rustoleum Primer, Acrylic Enamel and Lacquer. All rattle cans.
A bizarre incident in the outskirts of an American suburb. It was later revealed the disaster was caused by the T-Virus. A mutagentic toxin created by Umbrella Incorporated for use in bio-weapon experiments. Don't worry the zombies are looking for brains, you're safe.
