Since I yanked out 1 engine last weekend, I am interested in fresh'in up my bilge with original cig red paint.
Are there any suggestions on where I can purchase a like-color red. Epoxy, emeron(sp) or ?. Spray or brush on?
It originally looked like it was applied with a mop (it's not so smooth, is that an original look?)
Boat is 1990 Cig Bullet
Thank you,

Stan,
Scott and Craig have been great in the past and will P.M them.
Carter,
right now I would like to keep old school only because I am trying to get this beast back in the water this season to spend more money on gas
and eventually, when both engines come out I will most likely go all white-big job- basicly looking for touch up right now.
Purnel- I will look into awlgrip.
Thank you guys

i just redid my cafe and opted to keep the bilge red...just my preference i guess, but i like the old school.
i'm still undecided on the 20 though...i may go white or keep it red...it all depends on whether i decide to completely updat the entire boat as a "restomod" or restore it to original with new updated power...
