Re: 64 Edinboro custom learn somthing new every day
wow...what a beautiful boat. sp-I have a couple questions about your paint job/gel coat. you gave me some good feedback on my most recent thread/restore(14' Larivee). I hope to update that thread's progress in next day or two, but after looking at your thread here, found similarities in hull design. The lapstrake look, although fiberglass, is almost identical to my Larivee. I'm a while off on outer hull, but am I to understand you painted it, not gelcoat? And if so, how did you prep? Hard to sand the lapstrake look. I am pretty solid when it comes to demo, glassing, transoms, stringers, etc but not real confident on gelcoating(spraying or otherwise. I know I can do it, though with guidance. What are my options when I get to outer hull? Yours looks awesomely shiny & new. Not sure if spraying gelcoat is way to go, because sanding back out to high gloss could be difficult because of lapstrake design. Do I have a choice with paints? Sorry to sound dumb. We can move this discussion to my thread if you see fit. Again, jealous of your work.
