You can do it right on photobucket with a single click on each picture. You won't even have to update anything on here.

Chad,
I applied Gluvit to the exterior...I used rustoleum aluminum latex primer. The prob I had had nothing to do with the primer..it was due to my impatience and temp fluctuation. I did not let the gluvit fully cure. In my case it took 4 days..maybe 5. After it was cured the primer and paint held up just fine. Just dont rush it.

Greetings,

Ok so its time to start thinking about buying some paint. I want to do black on the bottum and white up top. Could you guys tell me what type of paint i should get, i would like to order it online because im sure it will be cheaper.

Most of the paint on the boat is original and still sticking reallly well, i just plan to scuff this paint. Bare aluminum will be primed with zinc chromate and epoxy areas (gluvit) will be primed with epoxy primer.

Could someone please tell me what a good paint would be just to spary over everything. I have a buddy that paints cars for a living, he is awesome but has never done an aluminum boat. He recomended using car paint since there was already good paint on the boat.

I have been working on the sticker removal and prep. Alot of rivets !!!!

Pettit Easy Poxy paint is real good stuff. I used it on mine with great results.
Can be rolled and tipped or sprayed, either way.
1 qt of each color will be more than enough. They also offer primer and thinners for either application.
This was done with a foam roller and no tipping with a brush

2 coats with a "scuff" and wipe down between coats. Seems very hard now.

Just my opinion, good luck!

Same paint top and bottom. The boat will be trailered when not in use, so no need for "bottom" paint.

Also, I had fairly good paint on the hull to start with, I just sanded with 220 to rough it up, hit the bare spots with ZC, let it dry and went to town with color.

Ok, so paint is almost complete. I have painted the center console and the boat last night. Here are some photos of my custom paint booth ventilation system (figured people on here would appreciate) and the paint job. I still have to do some work on the back, it is going to be solid white.

Hopefully i will have this thing upright this weekend and back together by next weekend. My floor boards and what not are already made and sealed ready to go. More pics to come.

Sorry for the size, i will work on resizing a bit later. By the way, i plumbed the vetilation into a bucket of water covered with a tarp, worked fairley well, at least the neighbors havent complained yet.

Re: 1997 Starcraft Fishmaster 190CC Resto

PPG - My buddy works at a boddy shop, he told the paint rep what we were doing and he sold me the appropriate PPG paint. I am unsure of the model or line ot PPG paint as I am at work.

There are a few imperfections and a few bugs but all in all its good. It is just a fishing boat.

"STRIPER SLAYER" vinyl on the way!!!

Re: 1997 Starcraft Fishmaster 190CC Resto

Re: 1997 Starcraft Fishmaster 190CC Resto

Thanks for all of the feedback, im glad you like. It does pay to have a buddy that paints for a living, he two toaned my car for me and did a phenom job.

In the situation of the boat, he really needed to use the garage to put an engine in his car so.....the quicker the boat got done, the sooner the garage is open!!!!

I plan on having plumbing (livewell, bilge pumps) , wiring harness, foam and deck installed by the weekend. Also the transom painted.

Should be in the water within a week or two.

The striping on that paint job turned out very nice...well done

That hull is a very deep V, it looks like it has a sharper angle of deadrise than the older ones.

Greetings,

OK...so i see the light at the end of the tunnel. I installed all foam and the deck this weekend, the material to cover the floor should be here this week. I went with Nautolex Deco Dot (Taupe). It is basically a rubber material, easy to wash fish guts etc. etc.

I replaced all live well hoses, going to be working on getting the bilge and livewell pump wiring straight until the floor material gets hear. Also i want to seal the screw holes.

I cant wait for this to be done, i enjoy it for sure (love of labor) its just a large project that has taken some time (not as large when compared to people like OOPS!!).

My next boat resto is going to be something smaller, which will probably begin shortly after this one is finished in the next week or two.
