Carbon fiber panels came back the other day. I'm really pleased with how they came out.

FishMagnet nice paint work, I like the colour and how it turned out. How much paint did you have to use to cover the out side of the hull? how much paint did the inside take?

Nate, Im not really sure how much paint, but if you really want to know I can ask. I know that he has sprayed atleast 5 coats on the outside and 3 on the inside because of imperfections that are more visible after painting. The boat had been redone before but it was a backyard job and he is trying for a real high end job. He still has to paint the inside and edges of the hatches with smooth white and the gunnels and deck with white non skid. Im hoping to see that done by the weekend.

Yes please do. I'm getting ready to paint my 23 and would like to get an idea of how much paint to purchase. I'm using Awlgrip Ice Blue on the sides and Snow White for the inside.

Nate- I just talked to my guy. he says he used a gallon of off white and a gallon of ice blue on the outside of the hull and plans to use another gallon of each for the inside. Hope that helps. BTW be careful with your choice of white-some of the white awlgrip colors could be blinding as they are super white.
