Hi all ..

Here is a 700k Shannon that had some " problems " ( It is a new boat )

http://s699.photobucket.com/albums/vv352/YachtDr/Shannon/

What you see is done with 545 epoxy primer and topcoat with AwlCraft 2000..

The repairs are done with west system epoxy, 1.5 oz mat and 1708 with peely ply over it.

The heat lamps are not for the cure.. it is for the " post cure ". basically after the repairs are made in epoxy we do not want that repair to shrink after primer and paint is applied and baked out in the sun with a black hull. :)

Enjoy.

YD.

That is amazing and the detail is great. Dark colors are the absolute hardest to work with and will show everything....... doing a perfect job with dark color is amazing.

This puts all the restores here into perspective ;)

Thanks you for sharing these.

LOL I am afraid to ask but I will.... I'm not shy :)

Have you done any "normal" size boats and have pictures to share with the masses here. Similar to the blue collar worker's boats ;)

I know you are "pro" and you work reflects it.... that paint finish is outstanding. Something we can get people who are doing a family boat to look at.
