Paint and Body - OMG


Those of you who know me, know my thoughts on painting. Me no likey.  I would have said that extends to boats but so far I have enjoyed turning the Red ,White and Black boat back to Red and Tan. On Monday Ann and I almost completed the back and last night was especially productive when Kevin, Blake and Sydney came over and joined in. Well Sydney not so much…I figure another couple of nights and we will have it complete. Now I just need to get a wet/dry sander.  Anyone have one I can rent/borrow? I found a buffer and swear I am going to get that thing shining just like all the boats in the ads for boat detailers.
Well damn, that was short and sweet and not at all funny. I didn’t break anything or measure anything wrong. Heck,  I didn’t even buy the wrong part. Of course I also have to bondo some holes and there is an opportunity to fail as I have never Bondo’d anything before in my life. I also have to build a box for the speakers I will someday buy. I am sure Kevin will take the lead but I will definitely  get involved…for comic effect if nothing else. You are welcome.
Todays pictures are just random ones of the boat before and after scraping, one of where the box will be and one of what we WANT it to look like.
After that it is just cleaning up the Bimini cover and adding shi....stuff from our wish list (our list, my list,  whatever...lol)
