Thanks for the comments,
For the Gel Coat I was shocked at how fast it would set up in the gun. By time I sprayed the first solid coat, got out of the boat and opened the acetone to clean things up, the stuff started to set up in the gun. So I learned to back off on the hardner to allow for more time. I did like the duratec clear. Great shine too. |
|
Thanks.......Tom

Here is the process I went through for painting the windshield. I considered powder coating but I had left over paint from other boat/car projects so I decided to save the money and just paint it.
Remove all seals and screws. Scotch bright the frame. Wash with dawn and hot water. Spray 2 light coats of epoxy primer. Let dry and cure out a few days. Lightly sand with 800 grit paper. Wash with dawn and hot water. Spray 2 light coats of black base and let dry 30 min between coats and immediately follow up with 2 coats of clear and let dry 30 min between coats. I did not bother to sand and buff the final clear coat due to the configuration of the frames. The clear left it glossy but I like it now that it is on the boat. |

Thanks.......Tom

Got the Transom, 2001, Lightning Bolt and pin striping installed. The side Barefoot nautique decals were so aged/old the adhesive would not stick to the boat. I am in touch with the supplier on the returns. N3 is producing a new original "Barefoot Nautique" decal for the sides of the boat. I am very pleased so far with the look....

I agree! ![]() I want to see some pictures of the trailer after the color sand and 3 coats of clear. I don't think anyone else has gone that far on a trailer before. |
