Mike ...does look like it would be very close to your original gelcoat.
Terry..I am going with a white bootstripe or yes red!! and black bottom paint...Vivid in white is out of my price range..plus dont have patience to get bottom perfectly faired out etc.
Sany...how ya been?
Currently has 305 in it..got it running for a very short period of time without water running through it ..need to get heat exchanger for hoses that seem to go no where..I found heat exchanger brackets though in all the boxes...
Looking to purchase fwc 350 from guy who is repowering with diesels..but gonna see what I can do with current setup first..email me if you see any deals out there

Got the final coat on--2 seems to be the ticket. I used about two quarts of paint. Had to thin it today..guess due to humidity and got a couple of runs in the paint
Some questions for anyone to answer..greatly appreciated
1. Will this Pettit Easypoxy buff out... if needed for imperfections.
If so what grit for wetsanding and type of compound, also what type of buffing bonnett (sponge/wool?)
Also...
2. Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced brand of bottom paint to use for a trailered boat.Wont be in water for extended periods of time... Vivid is out of my budget. I will be using black.
Here are pics..have to touch up below rub rail..my tape job was not too good
but turned out ok for Driveway paint job..next is bottom or might jump to topside..to get crap back on boat and out of garage.
