New Graphics on the boat
 

What do you think!!!! :D:D

I think the back pulls it all together :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

This is actually the guide coat for when I sand it. My mom came over to the shop when I was not there and about freeked. She thought some one sprayed it graphiti style :D :D

Wow!!! You weren't kidding when you called last night!!! Did you ever find out who the stupid graffitti artist was?? Did you kick your.....I mean his ass????? LOL!!!! Did your mom call the cops???? Who was the designer??? Doesn't look like anything MitcherT has done. Doesn't look like a TAOD design either. Whoever designed those graphics must have a screw loose (in the plate in his head!!!).

I dig it
 

Mad Max style:D

This is youre brain on drugs..........:D :D

Looks like somebody took a big pencil
and shaded it in.

Bird Dog LOL :D:D

Audiofn, do you have a rendering of what the design is? I would love to see it.

Mitcher T

Mitcher it is actually going to be White with two wide stripes were the factory ones would go. I have not had time to think about graphics yet and I may just leave it all white. :D:D

You Know what my vote would be......:D

It's got kind of a jungle..zebra theme going for it.

I'd hate to be the poor soul who has to pinstripe all the edges :D

PAINT SPECS
 

Hey Jon:

With all the opinion on this site about type of paint to use, what is the specs on what you're using? Did you use Imron or what? I assume you are wet sanding with something like 1600 grit, so how many times or hours do yWingwallou think it is going to take you? It sure looks good with the progressive photos! :cool:

Jon, is this why we havent seen you at Havasu lately? Better hurry, the best part of the year is coming up.

UT: I have not been at havebrew because I have been working my tail off on this thing. Secondly why would I go all the way out there in the summer. Havabrew is for the winter :D:D

Luvoffshore. I went with Gelcoat. For a couple reasons. First off it is better if you are going to leave the boat in the water for more then two days Imron and Awlgrip say NO WAY. I used a product called Duraclear in with the paint. This will make the paint not only shine better and longer but it also makes it spray out MUCH nicer. The other advantage is that repairs are a snap. Were Awlgrip and Imron repairs can suck.

I am currently sanding it down quickly with 180, then 320, then 600, maybe 1000 then buff. I tell ya what is amazing is that even when you hit this stuff with 180 it has a shine to it!!!! I figure with the 600 it should shine up real nice :D:D

Jon

Fair point, fair point!
