Love the Royal Blue on the N-T !!

 

[ahmincha]

For a guy that didn't know how to paint a month ago that sure looks real good . You are a fast learner

 

[Mikeopsycho]

Wow! Beautiful job. I know you're proud of it, and you should be. Maybe someday I'll try doing a paint job, your work is inspiring.

 

[Woodonglass]

Keep us posted on how the Boo Boo turns on on the other side. I sure hope the contamination goes away and the next go round' of the white comes out flawless!!! By the way, how many coats of Blue is that??

 

[Corjen1]

Short update while Im waiting for paint to dry.....and lunch...

Prepped for the final coat of white.






WoG, here is the side I had to re-do.....



Looks much much better!!! This afternoon, final coat of blue!!!!

 

[Woodonglass]

Hmm, don't see any evidence of contamination this time!!! You didn't say How many coats of blue you put down on the other side??? I'm Hoping at least 2???

Sorry WOG, everything has two coats on it now...

Here is where Im at now........Ive had my jet furnace on many times today....kept the shop about 110 deg today during dry times....I think Im 15 lbs lighter today!!!







Cant even tell where I blended the repaired side in...







In about an hour, Ill go peel the paper off and take some more pix......

 

[Corjen1]

OK, here is the big unavailing....sorta..You have seen this before... Final coat of paint!!













Thanks everyone for your help so far.....!!!!!!!

 

[Corjen1]

Oh, by the way, while the hull was baking in the shop, I got a couple bunks made....





Couple more side bunks and the trailer is DONE!!!!

and a action shot, thanks to my real boss...

 

[friderday]

Wow, Cor...that is showroom pretty! Congrats on the milestone. She's gonna look goooood sitting on that trailer too.

 

[archbuilder]

looking sexy! Congrats on the new paint, makes it all worth it!

 

[sphelps]

Beautiful job ! Nothing like pulling the paper off revealing all the hard work that paid off ! Congratulations on an outstanding job !
Btw , I have never seen those type roller/bunk brackets before .. Pretty cool !

 

[Woodonglass]

That Rustoleum sure has a Dull Finish to it!! I thought it would be a LOT Glossier!!! Must be the Dull Personality of the Jayhawker applying the Paint!!!!

Oh, wait I had my sunglasses on...WOW does that thing shine or WHAT!!!!! Are you sure that is that Cheapo Deapo Crappy Rustoleum Paint!!!!! Tell the truth you just showed us the cans and then went out and bought the good stuff to spray on RIGHT????

 

[Corjen1]

Well, I am rolling the dice....I am unable to round up anyone, other than tomorrow morning, to help get the top unslung from the ceiling. So I flipped the hull and set it on the trailer.....I hope I dont regret this, WOG told me to wait 72 hrs.... its was 52ish...







Bunks and rollers all adjusted now...







Now, I need to sort out a "tent" system for the cover I have....something similar to winter time covers with a bow in it to shed water and eventually snow. (missing Wyoming at the moment, the got the lovely snow today)

Have a good night all!!!

 

[kcassells]
