I Googled “blower shop near me” and it came up very different...... 😜

Love shiny things on boats and atop big engines. almost a pity you have to cover them up with engine hatches. I guess you can back her down the ramp and warm them up with the hatches open first.

Everything is coming together beautifully. 👍

LOL Kelly. Thanks for the information. I dealt with the blower shop on some hardware for the 256 weiand superchargers. They were very helpful.

This is a very time-consuming job masking this deck. It took us literally all day to pull tape to our liking and to spray the violet. Tomorrow morning we will spray the blue next to the bow rail, then the fade next to the bow rail. Then we will spray the teal and clearcoat after that. Should be done with the deck tomorrow.

Looking great!
While painting my AT my painter informed me he is not a painter, but an excellent taper. 5% of the job is laying down paint...

How much time do you have to get all your base colors down before you start shooting the clear?

That’s right. The first early tv boat has many YouTube videos and photos on the web of it. And as far as I’m concerned the early ones are the better looking of them all. Pretty excited myself lol.
