Decided to give my engine room a coat of paint while I am waiting on parts for my engines

Looking good

Looks great what product did you use?

Elbow grease just kidding I am using awl grip paint

Looks great!

Looks good , maybe while the engines are out you should have the back rail re-powerdcoated. Just an idea

Paint the other side red. I dare ya. Looks good, makes we want to do mine.

I am in the process of doing the same thing, hopefully finish up tonight. Using white rustoleom enamel with 8:1 hardener. Mine is slow going because I would not remove everything at once, one side at a time cause my memory sucks. Tonight will be the 4th in a row

I just noticed your tin foil trick.....this would have been a very useful tip to me 4 days ago :lolhit: looks great btw

tin foil
 

The tin foil trick works great even when you are spraying and not brushing

looks great, night and day difference

Looks good! What color Awlgrip did you use?

Awl grip
 

Snow white

At my age I've started taking pics of anything I dissassemble...except for my wife's nities ! he he:eekdrop:

Im glad you tried that & it worked, I mentioned it in another post & I got some neg. feedback about it. The shop is warming up as I type, ill be painting in a few hours!! I better buy some more foil.



BTW, Those both look awesome!!

engine room refinish
 

hello what are you using to prep the gel before you paint it

what did you use to prep the gel coat before painting ?

I wiped it down with acetone. I did not sand. Paint is rock soild with hardener, couldn't be happier.

I did the sides of mine in white, and the bottom in alum silver, looks ten times better, will post pics when I get all my tools out of the way.

Well after seeing how nice your bilges turned out, (& I'm waiting on my engines :( ) I decided to do the same.. I used Bilgecoat & had it tinted slightly to match the gelcoat, what a diffence a couple coats of paint make, I had no intentions of doing this until I seen this thread! anyways jab05 let us know how she runs! I used to have a '99 35 Single step , great boat, should haul a$$ with that power

That looks great....

Looks great!!!!!

It will hopefully be in the water this weekend if all goes well
