Man my wife would have my nuts flying off the top of a flag pole if i attempeted to spray right next to the house!!! :eek:

There was very little overspray. No red on the house or ground!

in the driveway eh!.......thats hard core!......luv it!!:cool-smiley-011:

Looks great

Did you drink all the miller lite so that you had boxes for the overspray :D:D

Fantastic...it reminds me of the day we picked it up at the factory. It looks like new. Great job!

Looks better than it did back in Ohio during the early years...

Man that thing shines, cant wait til we buff it out, ya get the chrome, and the decals back on:D

No problem Ray, I love this stuff:D

My wife dont care what I do, as long as she gets what she wants:D

Driveway, NOT,

Very Hard Core.....looks like you pulled it off.....nice job?

I like the EZ up paint booth:cool-smiley-027:

Hey Ray
Looks great, we going out boating this weekend?

Reminds me of when I shot the paint on my Scarab.... Side of the house...5 AM....had to bang it out before the sun rose!

It's nice to see a good home project once in a while, we're so spoiled seeing these 60k jobs all the time!

Good work!

:DThanks, I do all my own stunts:D

Heres mine, painted in the same spot, all glasswork, rigging, interior, all done by me, in this same spot.

more:D

finished product with clear, and out running with Ray on the maiden voyage, the only thing I paid a "Pro":Whatever: to do was build the powerhed, and that blew up the 3rd. time out:(

Now has a 225 3.0 liter on it, still tweaking the tuning:D

OK,

Now Back to Rays Boat, cant wait to see it back together:D

Boat has to be buffed out before putting everything back on. Won't be done this weekend.

forgot to mention, Ray did all of the prep work. The boat showed up ready to paint with the exception of some final sanding.

I have used the interlux perfection as well and am completely floored with the results. The shine is awsome and holds up extremely well, the the overspray is little to none. The A/O looks great and should for a long time. That stuff is very durable.

Red is a tough one to keep up alright.

Oh yeah especially in Florida. Going to keep the whole boat covered when on the trailer.
