Troutly - All the Imron will have several coats of clear, both for protection and to level out the paint lines.
Cuda - I'd go to grey canvas, but that would mean a new cockpit cover, a new full cover, new bimini canvas, plus I just bought Troutly's (blue) camper kit. That's more than I'm paying for the paintwork. The canvas stays blue. I promise to post/send you LOTS of pictures, though....
Outlaw - Sunbrella makes some plaid and striped pattern materials. Wonder how cuda would react to a nice "Scotch plaid" bimini......

Re: End of an era: The "Refrigerator" goes to the paint shop
Picked it up Friday morning and spent the weekend running around the bay. I'm very pleased with the overall look, but it seems that the silver is going to need another coat. The painter underestimated the amount of paint required for proper coverage, so it's a bit "spotty". Still, I'm a happy camper. Just cannot believe that I forgot to bring my camera with me!!!

I wanted a picture with both boats in the frame, but it didn't happen. Sorry Bob
Thanks again!

Re: End of an era: The "Refrigerator" goes to the paint shop
looks nice... refreshing ..while the ultra complicated Graphics are nice ...I like the simple clean lines .....
So did I get this right ...you painted just the grey area below the rub rail ?
