Looks nice. What product are you using? Where did you purchase it? I still have my
engines out so this would be the time to redo it all.
Mine is ugggly! I wasnt going to mess with it but I see you are using a brush. (I didnt want any spray going on)
Thanks for the pics.
Timmy.

Trying PPG 2 part White Polyurethane this time. Last time used PPG 2 part epoxy. Salesman said urethane wouldn't stain as bad as the epoxy did.

DA sanded with 400 where I could get the sander then hand sanded the tight spots with 220 grit. Then just brushed on the paint. The bilge on my boat has the mat showing so no big deal to use a brush or a small roller. I took most of the stuff out of the bilge. I taped off the rest.

Bilge looks great. I've been waiting two months for my new intakes to come in so I could finish my engine build. We finally got them Friday and yesterday got the first engine on the dyno. Took some time chasing and electrical gremlin. Ended up being my distributors. Final pull........637HP at 5600 rpm and peak torque was 686 at 4100 rpm. I can't say enough about my buddy Eric (owner of EB Marine) and Troy. I am very pleased with the results and they have been great threw out the whole thing.
