My plan is to sodablast off the 30 years of bottom paint and the 4 coats of house paint used above the water line.


The bottom yes sodablast, but the sides I would not.
It would be a lot of work to get the hull fair again.

The problem I'm facing with the hull is the house paint the previous owner used. I assume he did this because the gel coat had faded. UV has broken down the house paint. Even a light pass with a scrubby pad causes it to wear off into the water. I also want to raise the boot stripe about 3" higher. Where I overlapped it onto the hull flaked off so I'm sure it would worse higher onto the hull.

The demo I saw didn't look like it would damage whatever is under the house paint. Am I wrong, Warthog5? I have never actually seen a boat done using this method.

I'd recommend that you use a chemical striper on it. The house paint should come off fairly easy.
The sodablasting is going to cut into the gellcoat.

I'm still trying to get those videos to play with no success - tried both 56k and broadband versions.  At first it opened Winamp but would do nothing else.  So I set windows media player to be the default and it can't play them either.  Any ideas?

RickK,

I just tried it again and it worked. I have a cable modem. This is what worked for me:

Go to the product description for Perfection, then on the right side in the middle at "Video Instruction" click on one of the spots that says "broadband version". When I do that Windows Media player automatically comes on and loads the presentation. There are four different videos.

Check to see if your security settings are too high and blocking it.

Hope it works for you!

Do you have a preferred chemical stripper? I'll do a test spot.

You were right, turned the security down to medium and it came in fine. Thanks.

Rickk,

I applied the primer paint with the "Tip Off" method as demonstrated in the video. It took alot of wet sanding to make it smooth enough. I then got a compressor and gun to spray on the Perfection. With a little practice and testing of differant solvent blends I actually enjoyed the spraying, and the results were good as well!

I would have saved a lot of time and and energy if I sprayed from the start! But I would have missed all of that fun wet sanding!!!!!

The video is still worth watching!

It was interesting to watch.
I never saw the finished product in your gallery - did I miss it?

Actually the only pictures I took after completion were with the camcorder. I wonder if I can pull some still pictures from the video frames?

I did not take any digital still pictures as of yet.

I pulled the boat out of the water last Saturday, just in time to beat the first snow storm! It is now sitting on the trailer at the same location as my before pictures. Next time I go down I'll be sure to get some after pictures! Other than the old T-Top it looks like a new boat!

On my last trip out I had a great fishing day, but the motor started making some nasty noises, so it looks like it will have to be towed to the repair shop! Does it ever end!!!!!
