[uncleboo]

Very nice!! I like the 2-tone.

Thanks guys, UGH Ok I will consider painting it. I am just relating it too the floor paint that people buy at Menards and slop on their house floor and I get to grind off after it goes to hell on them. Granted they probably did a poor job prepping it, but that might be why I am scepticle about it.


Here is another fix I would like to get done this winter.



I dont know if he missed the trailer loading it or smashed a dock but it is all the way through the gelcoat into the glass. Ideas to blend it???

Well with it being near -0 degrees out and 6-7 more inches of snow today, me and the little lady decided to do some work on the boat tonight.

Started cleaning up the floor a little in preperation for .....paint.
















We didn't get much done, but we had fun.

Ok it is moving along slowly....

Decided to ^%$% can the idea of restoring the original non skid. There were quite a few flaws that appeared to be from the factory. Ground the whole works off and am in the process of fairing it out and starting over.













Going with signature finish paint. Talked to Tom the other day and he said he could match any competitors color.

Any idea what color, if any, matches the original seacraft color?? do any of the Awlgrip colors or other manufacturers come close?

Any way, heres one for you southern guys....



Its always 65 and sunny in here though.

Rod, it looks like you have some good quality help there!

A lot of paint shops (and some ACE Hardware stores!) have scanners now attached to computers that can do a really good job of matching paint, so you could do like ET23 did and take a hatch cover or something with gel coat on it to a paint shop get the paint matched, and then send Tom a sample of that paint for him to match (or just send the sample direct to Tom!) Tom is local to me, so I took him a piece of fg I had cut out for a Phye access plate, and he matched it exactly! He called it "Denny White". The color below the bootstripe and on the sides of the steps on my boat is the Signature Finish paint he mixed up for me, but the rest of the hull is original gel coat, and most folks can't tell the difference! My '72 gel coat may be slightly different than yours, but if you mention this post, that formula might be a good starting point for him in matching your gel coat. Denny
