I haved talked about it, but haven't made a decision yet. I'm thinking about just going up and back on Saturday, but if Friday works there is less people to fight, and that is always better. I need to see who is all going first.

Mentalpause

I'm just going up and back Saturday. We always stop at a Pizza place around Joliet on the way back. The Sunsation owner will be there. also Mitcher T, so maybe I will get a chance to start talking about paint.

Are you thinking about something like the new Nordic on the cover of Powerboat or the cigs. Or what are you thinking about?

Mentalpause

Haven't decided yet. I am going with reds and yellows. Here are some pics, don't pay attention to colors. 2 cigs and one Sunsation - the Innovator paint. Whatever I do will not be exactly the same, just trying to get ideas. Sun is first - then the cigs. I really like the scheme on the blue cig

IF you ask me, all those paint jobs look awesome

I paint cars for a living, and when I see boats painted the way they are today it blows me away, I can't believe the talent they have.

Mentalpause

Seems to me that you can turn it into a pretty lucrative business given the prices they tend to list for some of these paint jobs. Then again, those are usually the boat builders price which is likely way more that the paint shop got for doing it.

The other thing I did on my current boat it clear coat everything but the bottom. After experiencing that, I will do it on every boat I own. Makes caring for the glass much easier. And after 5 years it looks just as good as the first day.
