Oh can't wait to see the paint! :coolio

Thanks guys. These patterns are tiny. It took a good bit of fine tuning my cutter to get them to cut without tearing the patterns up. It is a delicate balance of speed, pressure and depth of the cutting blade.

I got the camouflage patterns sprayed yesterday evening. I brought it outside to put a coat of flat on it and the flat fogged.

I also got the fuel tank made. Next up is the battery.

But the rest of it isn't. :frantic

I do need to get some lacquer thinner to thin my Mr. Surfacer 500. I want to do a bedliner texture inside. The outboard should be in today.

Put a clear coat on it and see if it comes back around.

Did you think about using brush for the non slip inside? Stiff one.

 

[Hippy Ed]

Looks good from where I sit Kenny

How about a 427 tiller drive, Kenny. Full blown and everything?

I'm gonna try that first. I will be using a good, stiff brush for the non-slip.

Maybe a little much for such a shallow draft boat there. :gogo

 

[Gator]

Great news! I shot the hull with flat again and the color came right back. The motor also came in today. I need to strip it and do some body work though.

 

[Gator]

I got the artwork ready for the decals that go on the motor.
