Very nice..

I think the purple looks great! Enough of a contrast to make it really stand out.
You should be VERY proud of all your hard work, it looks great. I can't wait to see the finished product!:cool:

Steve, make sure Speeddoc is invited to the Chill-Out! I do not think he made it last year, but he did in 2002.

Paint cost alone was about $2400, and that's at cost. The "whiting out" was done as a reciprocal project - he has a 38' Fountain that I will help him do in February. I won't disclose the rest of the costs.

Nice job Steve! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Is that one of the paint schemes you posted way back when you were trying to decide which one to go with?

OldSchool 01-08-2004 11:39 AM

Very Nice Steve!!!!!! Thanks for posting the progress. Can't wait to see the finished product!!:D :D

The paint job looks GREAT. I was one of the ones that said leave it original...now I must say...you made the right decision, I was definitely wrong!!

Did you get my email requesting info on the Richmond Poker run?

Milord 01-08-2004 01:50 PM

By the time I made it over to the shop today Steve had finished the first round of clearcoating. Friday night will be a beer-n-pizza-n-wetsanding party with some friends.

This will probably be the last picture I post until the hatch is done and we get it out into the sunlight.

Not this year. I want to clean up some of the wiring and hoses, and I'm adding sea strainers, but that's about it.

That's what I was thinking. Pushing the graphics towards the back makes it look longer - a Tiger wanna-be!!!

These pictures can't do the purple justice. It's a beautiful metallic paint. I can't wait to see it in the sunlight. And diluting it with silver metallic really sets it off.

cgarrett 01-08-2004 06:06 PM

Real Nice!
I know what I want to do now.
