...of my Gulfstream structural, interior, mechanical and mechanical cosmetic project. It has been a lot of time and work. I have learned and honed many skills which I hope to use in other areas and ventures (do I hear BeachCraft?)

Here is the last hurrah! In order of pictures; Zinc Chromate, Catalyzed Epoxy Primer and Catalyzed Acrylic enamel. Need I mention? You can spend a fortune on paints and supplies.

Boomyal,

Nice looking stuff! I quit adding up the cost of the supplies, it seemed to cost less that way :)

Peace.

Great job Boomyal. Yep, just thank the EPA for the high price of paint.

My progress on my project is not going so well. Its mainly finding the time. I quit doing side jobs so that I would have time. Now my friends just come over to shoot the bull and watch me work. Of course I don't get nothing done that way. I hate it when people watch me work.

Well at least you must get lots of brewskis that way SS.d:)

Thanks all, for your comments. Just remember you cannot mask too much when you paint. Even with HVLP, the overspray will find the tiniest opening. I'm glad that I took a lot of the paper off as soon as I was done 'cause I had to do some fast wiping, with laquer thinner, on places I would rather not have.

Ya know, I came to the same conclusion. I used to save all the receipts and add then up at the end. Not any more. I guess knowing that things will add up beyond reason, you just have to calculate in your satisfaction level for doin the project.
