How to paint the deck

I am repainting my 31 bullet and was just wondering how the guys that do this all the time reach the deck with a spray gun to base and clear.

gimmie a call when you have a chance 419-461-4114 i'll give ya the low down on it. its really not to bad the boats only eight feet wide you only need a four foot reach. its pretty easy but to much to write here

Post a pick of the deck.

This is when ya need a girl with skinny fingers to get into the tight spots.

I was told once if the machine cant get it,its going to be a dry spot.......

Hey Dave ya come highly recomended,what ya think?

Maybe Donnie will chime in

What did you do for surface prep?

Who's materials did you use?

Did you use a primer/surfacer or a sealer? Or did you paint right on the fiberglas?

It had paint on it before so we sand most of it off and then primed the whole boat. Then we blocked the primer, and then sealed and based cleared it. I used actually used all Lesonal products as in the primer, sealer, and base coats but the clear we used is a Sikkens high solids clear which is more durable than regular production types clears.
