Ok, so i ended up gel coating the hull up to the part that is just out of the water. I decided I am going to paint the sides of the hull as well as the top cap and interior. I am looking at using Pettit Easypoxy in the bright red color and am planning on spraying it on the trailer with my spray gun with a 1.4mm tip. I have pretty well smoothed out the transom, splashwell and hull sides of the boat, but I am wondering how smooth this paint will come out. I am not planning on using a primer or undercoating, I am just sanding with 80-120 grit per the instructions. I am wondering if anyone can give me some tips on the best way to smooth out the hull sides and somewhat rid the small waves that are in the side of the boat due to sanding. Also, I am wondering what the best way to tape off the area not to be painted would be. I want to get the straightest contoured lines I can and am wondering how to do so.
