Re: Sceptre Paint Job $$$
If you want to learn I will teach YOU how to do it, and then after the job is done I will smile at the camera and confirm YOU did a good job.

Re: Sceptre Paint Job $$$
Fellowship-
what kind of paint did you use inside and out? did you spray or roll and tip? Also what did you use to make the recessed storage area in the top of your Consel? Strick

Re: Sceptre Paint Job $$$
I used Sterling paint both inside and out. The only exception was the bottom of the hull I gel coated. I used the roll and tip method.

Re: Sceptre Paint Job $$$
Ha John
The Gel Coat was rolled as well. Personally I still like the combination of painting the hull with Gel Coating the bottom. In this way if you do decide to keep your boat in the water for more that two weeks at a time you don’t have to be concerned about the paint on the bottom being damaged by sitting in salt water. My boat has now been completed for 2 years and the bottom still looks in good shape. I still have not sanded and compounded the bottom Gel Coat yet I have been enjoying using it so much I put that sanding project on the back burner. I keep the boat on a drive on trailer and launch it approx 40 times a year if I had paint on the bottom I bet by now I would see scratches all the way down to the Gel Coat. Since I have not sanded the Gel Coat yet the bottom is as ruff as if I would have painted it with bottom paint, so far I can live with it, actually no one seems to notice that they look at the sides of the hull and the inside. Here are some pictures of the hull I don’t know if they are close enough for you to see the texture of the paint job. www.theboatzone.com/gallery/fs01 try double clicking on the ones you like.

Re: Sceptre Paint Job $$$
Has anyone ever tried spraying gelcoat?
It would have to be thinned some, but I think it would go thru a lphv gravity feed gun ok. I was toying with that idea.
