Re: spraying the bottom?
 

The last time I painted on a creeper, was when I did my car trailer. You need to have coverall's, hood for your head. Everything covered, including a shield for your face. Without saying a resporator is manditory.

Put some vasoline on your face that is exposed too.

Re: spraying the bottom?
 

If you're going to spray the bottom with gel coat, yes, you're going to have to get it in a postion that the gel coat gun will work in. You can't really spray "UP". Only at a slight angle up, and only when the cup is full. This is what I did, after talking to Jason.

Hey EBEACH,
Have you been sniffing those paint fumes cuz it looks like you are trying to sleep with your boat??!! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

I like that vasoline idea so when you stick your face where it doesn't belong you can easily get out [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

George where are you going to do this? not at home cuz the mess is big and be sure there is plenty of ventilation because no boat is worth permanent damage!

Be sure to take plenty of before pics

what brand of matress?!

Re: spraying the bottom?
 

Mr. Porter,
I was planning on doing it either at my dads service department, or at the body shop my dad uses for the dealership. Do you know anyone in the area that is good at spraying gelcoat and would show me how to shoot it, I am not sure how good I am going to be? I am going to practice on the console and see how that comes out. I like the mattress idea, I was actually thinking about something like.

Re: spraying the bottom?
 

Does your Dad have a paint booth big enough for the boat? The guy working on my boat might be able to help you. Why not just paint it gelcoat is a lot of finishing work. Check the archives cuz there is a member that went thru this and he may be able to give you insight.

Why aren't you back in school??!! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

This site is nice and so are the members!

Re: spraying the bottom?
 

No, my dad does'nt have a paint booth big enough, but he has a few extra large tents that would work, also the body shop he uses has plenty of booths large enough.
I am back at school, I am just getting all the info now so I can start as soon as I get home.
