Painting

[FELLOW-SHIP]

HA SCOTT
YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT ON THOSE PICTURES FOR A WHILE I HAVE TAKEN SOME BUT UNTIL THE BOAT IS DONE I AM GOING TO HOLD OFF ON SENDING MORE PICTURES IN. I DID GET CONVERTED ON THE BOTTOM TO GEL COAT IT SEEMS TO MAKE MORE SENSE FOR A TRAILER GUY LIKE MYSELF TO RE GEL COAT INSTEAD OF PAINT. YOU CAN FIX ANYTHING EASIER AND IT MAKES A BETTER BARRIER COAT TO THE SALT WATER THEN PAINT. SCOTT YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT PAINTING YOUR BOAT OR NOT MINE CAME OUT NOT BAD AT ALL. THIS LAST COAT ON THE HULL REALLY LOOKS VERY GOOD I HAVE SEEN MORE ORANGE PEAL ON SPRAY JOBS THAT WHAT I GOT ON MY ROLLER, BRUSH METHOD IF IT WASN’T FOR THE CAT I DIDN’T EVEN NEED A THIRD COAT IT CAME OUT THAT GOOD. I THINK SPRAYING IS A GREAT METHOD OF PUTTING PAINT ON MORE FOR THE TIME FACTOR AND NOT THE QUALITY OF THE JOB. WHEN YOU SPRAY YOU PUT ALL THE COATS ON AT THE SAME TIME WITH ROLE TIP METHOD YOU HAVE TO SAND BETWEEN COATS. THE PREP WORK, PAINT AND A GOOD BRUSH REALLY MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

HA JASON THANKS AGAIN FOR REMINDING ME ABOUT GEL COAT UNTIL YOUR THREAD I CONSIDERED GEL COAT FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOR PATCH WORK BUT NEVER THOUGHT OF USING IT AS A RE GEL COATING THE ENTIRE BOTTOM.
