1972 CC interior paint.
 

Starting prepping the interior for new paint today. Any best practices for removing the handrail? I can't wait to have a new interior.

I can't figure out multiple picture uploads.

The bow will have some sort of anchor hatch eventually.

What paint are you going with Josh?

I am using the paint that Shine sells. It's EMC Quantum. I'm still stripping everything. Hopefully be fairing and prepping this weekend.

Good luck, deja vu! lots of work , sweat and beer but it will sure be worth it

Looking forward to seeing pictures, let me know if you have any more questions

Thanks Joel. I've got almost everything removed and I'm debating whether or not to remove the t-top or just tape it off really good. Also, before I prime, what grit should I sand the old gelcoat up to or does it matter? I use this international paint at work and it won't stick to a smooth surface. I need to prep the surface with no less than 120 grit or the paint will peel. If it's too smooth it's like it won't grab the surface.
Thanks in advance.

220 is plenty of "tooth", the paint will cover the scratches. Any more grit and you can see the swirls through the paint. If you have to sand the paint between coats, then sand the paint with 320

Perfect, exactly what I needed. I've decided to remove the t-top and every screw and bolt.

I still do t know how to add multiple picture from My phone. Stripped bare

Even more bare

Looks like you need to rotate pics as well

Multiple pics... I load about 4 at a time. Hit.manage attachments. Then upload from docs from phone then hit upload on the right..

Just keep uploading files. It takes a little time ,that is why I do 4 at a time fromy phone

I will be ready for paint soon as well.. Please let me know the cost

cost
 

To paint everything with the EMC and doing 3 coats on the interior, its going to be 4 quarts of topcoat. I initially bought 2 quarts, but 3 will be a nice coating.

Some updated pics.
 

Almost done. I still can only upload one pic at a time.

Reassembly has begun
 

Installed the center console and t-top today

I suck at pictures

Go easy on yourself, Bro'
Your pictures are perfect -
