Where in the world is Moonstruck getting this very nice paint job?
Photoshop...
Last I saw the boat waiting for paint was Cracker Boy in Ft Pierce, Fl...but an outsider I think does the painting....Don??????
So I hafta clean the tar and cinders off my fenders before we raft in the Bahamas? He better send some fender cleaner too!!!!Yeah, Scott. No Photoshop. She is still at Cracker Boys. The only painting the yard does is bottom jobs which they will do when this is done. The paint is contracted to Roger Rucker who is an artist with Alexseal.
His is not a fast process. First he dewaxes and sands the hull to receive the primer. They he applies a compatible high build primer. Then the real work starts. They sand on the primer for about a week to get it perfectly smooth. They then start applying multiple coats (up to 6) of the color. Then they spend several days buffing before applying sealer to protect the paint. So far 5 weeks and counting.
I'm waiting for HopCar to get off his duff, and send me the spot free rinse system. We don't want any hard water touching that.
Don, The Boji water softeners should be in this week. Wouldn't take much to talk me into delivering one to Ft. Pierce personally! I'm headed to Punta Gorda today and on the way I'm going to deliver a Lehr outboard in Ft. Myers. I think I've figured a way to write off short vacations!
That's it I'm not posting anymore pics of my roll and tip . How do you erase old pics . Man this looks really good .
Don
...Excellent job, pretty shinning,
Is it the Rainha Jannota fever?
Real mirror like finish, just out of curiousity why the new to paint on what looks like a fairly new vessel?
Looks good Don! I would love to do that to mine, but I can buy a lot diesel and not have to worry every time I got within a 100 yards to anything!
