I was wondering if there is a web site or someware I can go to help me learn more about painting. Seams like there are allot of variables to learn and hard to learn only in words or maybe theres a traveling teacher from a paint rep? There is lots of great advise on oso but I hate to keep asking for help. Also it looks like the brand of paint realy matters.Im trying to match prior work not knowing what kind of paint ,single, clear or not let alone paint codes Any advise ? thanks Dan

There are some video's out there. I am seriously considering a vinyl boat wrap instead of a paint the next go round.

Glassdave has done many step by step how too's. Search his posts and treads and you will find everything you need to know. he does a great step by step for begineers.
He has one right now Boat painting 101. Plus you can pm him he is very helpful.

Thanks B, I'm always glad to lend advice (good or bad)

You shouldn't ever feel that way. We all learn lots here by sharing good info.

Although, I do get frustrated when I see posts where someone is asking a question that's being discussed two threads down. (not you, in general)

Just trying to get my post count as high as yours!! HA HA. You are right though about threads asking the same questions. I know I have looked and read alot of threads and those being very helpful. Lots of good people on OSO

The canned software that this board runs on has a search function that truly blows. There is so much absolutely invaluable information buried and for the most part lost on this site, it's not even funny.

redcorveteman3 where do you boat? I am in Indy also, you thinking about painting the Chris?

We try to boat! Had a few motor problems last season I have had it out twice last year. We went to Monroe in Bloominton both times. I am trying to paint the boat. I had a guy that said he could do it. He worked on it for 2 1/2 weeks than walked out. So I have a half sanded boat that needs painted. I can do the work just not enough time in the day. Aghhhh

You need to make a short drive to Toledo and see Glassdave.
