We just bought this boat! We want to complete the restoration project someone else started. The boat comes with a restored/refurbished 1957 Johnson 18hp motor, the windshield, all controls (including electric start), original metal "Lone * Star" emblems for the side of the boat, lights, cleats, stealing wheel, etc. I will post pics of motor and accessories when I have them in hand.
I would like to paint this myself in the next few weeks. Any suggestions, links, etc, on how to do this would be helpful.
I've read you need to acid wash it first, then use self etching primer, then regular primer, then paint. Does that sound right?
Any suggestions on brands, types, etc.
I've also read that this year/model came in a choice of 4 accent colors - red, blue, yellow or coral. Does anyone have a pic of any lone star in the coral? I can find all the other colors, but think the coral would be cool because it's very "period" and different from the crowd!! Thoughts?
