I ended up painting myself after a freind in the business quoted me a price of $3,500 just for the painting. What I did was strip the entire boat and marine texed every little nick and scratch then power sanded the entire gel coat from the outer rubrail inward. This alone took over a week, then I primed the inside deck and the upper deck (23' Sceptre model) and used a one part Easy Poxy off white from Pettit. I ended up redoing almost all of the wires, the teak and some fiberglass at the battery boxes. It took me a month but as my brother says it is a brand new boat. My freinds cant beleive it, neither can I. I started with a test hatch to see how it would turn out and after the paint dried, it leveled off and looked very professional. Total cost around $300. Ill be posting pictures soon. Mark
