Default the paint is finally DONE!

Thought I'd post some pics of my re-vamped Stinger. She turned out WAY better than I expected. I don't have pics of the interior/cabin yet, because the seats are still in the garage, but here's some shots of the body work, the crazy way we hung the boat, and the final outcome:

and at last, the end result minus rubrail, vents, and cabin windows. I'll post more pics when she's COMPLETELY back together, but I think with removing the windshield, the railing, installing pop-up cleats, no snaps or side lights, it gives a newer, sleeker look. I couldn't be happier!

Omni...easy to mix and shoot. Shines like a million bucks and I haven't even polished it yet.

She looks great!

We repainted our boat a few years back. I always say never say never, but never again! At least not to the degree of colors and the scheme we ended up doing.

Wait until she's buffed and waxed!
