RE: Expresscraft MTI built w/inlines
Thanks Matt
I appreciate your compliment and I can't wait to see it on the water myself.
I'm hoping it's not to much of a handfull !

RE: Expresscraft MTI built w/inlines
more work today
I took everything out of the hull tonight and painted the the inside of the hull.
I used Interlux Polyuerthane one stage piant Kingston Gray, it was dry to the touch in 1 1/2 hours, it will totally dry over night .
I have used this paint before and it works great. Smells real bad for 2 or 3 days though !
This weekend it's off to the paint shop ! I will post more pic's when it gets back !

Looks good, I have a lot of catching up to do.
If you dont mind me asking, how much do they hit you up for a paint job.

I will paint the boats, Signature 57 paint was $56.00 for red & white piant , $94.00 for the clear coat, clear coat will do both boats !
The paint for the MTI was $75.00 Silver and transparent blue !
I hope this helps you out !

gobblr gobble, kook a doodle doo, cluck cluck cluck, I dont know - How does a chicken go.
I have all the paints, clear coat, activators, the air brush, compressors, guns etc. They are the most intimidating tools in my shop all of a sudden.
My wife offered to paint it. She says she paints good in her mind

If you practice with your spray gun " air pressure, paint flow, thinning paint " use a practice surface to get use to your gun first,
then go to your boat.

I'm just the opposite. I've got a bunch of parts and nothing to put them in.
I'm starting to think that piece of plywood in the driveway may actually look cool with a zen and lawnmower blade prop.

Hey Rick
Busy at work, not leaving much time for the boats right now.
The shop I'm using for painting has a 55 Chevy in it that can't be moved for a few more weeks !
Sucks , but I have to wait !
