This is actually the second coat of primer, because of how poor the paint was on the cap, I primered the whole thing in ZC primer then the clean metal primer, one more coat of clean metal primer and I am shooting paint.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

two coats spar plus two coats primer minus one picture equals three pictures shy of the minimum allowed?

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

I will make it up when there is something interesting to show. Watching primer and spar dry isnt overly interesting. Spent today cleaning the paint gun had a bunch of crap set up in the new gun. I tried acetone to clean it mineral spirits sand paper paint thinner paint stripper paste. Finally after exhausting all options I finally gave up went to my grandfathers remedy gasoline. If it bothers anyone well tough cookies

That sounds fun Watermann lets give it a shot sometime.

Anyways I guess I am in debt to the mob for some pics.

Didn't realize watching spar dry was so much fun but here we go.

I sprayed it with the HVLP gun I put three coats on each side, and sealed the edges on each pass. 3 total on both sides of the ply 6 on the edges.

These are for you Joe.

More stuff, the cable pass through is going to be replaced so I didn't bother removing it.

I lessened the amount of hardener used in this batch just a hair and the paint went down a little flatter. Pretty pleased with the results.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Actually Joe, if your buddy still has his Viking when I am done with this SuperSport I am probably going to make him an offer. Some of the money from this Super Sport is going to be used to buy new seating for my 18', and I firmly beleive that your buddies Viking with a high gloss white paint job with my back to back white and grey lounge seats would look great. I've already sourced a donor glasser with a 50hp Merc to put on the back of it as well. When this is done I am going to have an extra empty trailer to tow with too.

Thanks GA he is my boat building buddy, he has been working on Starcrafts since before he was old enough to walk.
