Red will always be the most expensive pigment.
White is a different story.
Also, ppg 2021 clear is 225 a gallon.

My estimate is $ 8-20k depending on the amount of prep work, number of colors, # of mask and fade work. If you show some pictures of what you like to a couple of boat painters, you will get a lot closer than estimates on OSO....including mine.

I've heard a lot of great results with this. Wondering if it's transparent at all? Anotherwords what if your trying to cover a boat with outdated light to medium color painted graphics and you just wanted to cover in white etc. I would imagine you still need a smooth surface either way.

comes down to what has to come off, all thru hulls that are in the way, lights etc, customer wants us to do a 38 fountain SF has several thru hulls that need to come out and he is saying impossible to get to now to remove, so we are held up on that, material is 5' wide and that works with most boats about 70 colors at this point...
