1977 19.6 CUDDY WITH TOWER WHAT TO DO

[pete]

looks good sir!nothing wrong with those HF guns,what type of paint did you use?you can roll or brush gelcoat and you wet sand it and wet sand it til you get it smooth and compound and wax

yeah that was the problem to begin with some body tried rolling and brushing gel coat and did a nasty job at it so it had to come off. i am using interlux paints they seem to have a nice finish, this is all temporary any ways, just making it look nice for the wife. gonna take all the way down this winter and redo the whole boat. and refinish the outside again and spend more time on it.

time for an update been working on it all week at my work, in between jobs, got it all sanded down and first coat of primer on it to help find the bad spots, its starting to look good. gonna post pics tomorrow. planning on spending all week end on it this weekend

[blueciviccoupe]

now i am gonna get the dash put back together tomorrow at work i hope, if not i will do it tomorrow night but first i have to get the outside wet sanded and ready to paint this week then the water test comes this week end

[blueciviccoupe]

yeah best 30$ i spent was buying that paint gun only used 20psi on a very small compressor i was very impressed as a mechanic by trade and knowing what it takes to run most air tools this gun was very impressive, i was a little concerned about having to wait for the compressor to build up and getting dry spots in the paint while i waited but it worked great with know waiting around on the compressor. now i cant wait till i really get to tear into her and do it all right. that is of course unless somebody offers up a nice walk around cuddy to trade. lol
