Default Re: Schicks, How much paint?

Hammer...................I would rather cut of my left testicle than put anti fouling paint on the bottom of a trailer boat. I checked out your pics in the repair forum. I would ABSOLUTLY NOT PAINT THE BOTTOM OF THAT SWEET RIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Is my opinion clear ;D ;D ;D

Really I would love for my boat to have a clean bottom like that, but it had bottom paint on it when I bought it. I sanded the bottom paint off the transom when I painted the rest. The boat was full of holes, cracks and crappy repair work. If ya'lls isn't like that I would definatly wet sand and buff.

This was fine fine example of the quality work done to the boat in the past.





Mulv,

*Thanks, I brought some color samples home from the ICI paint store and tried to match it up. It's a little off but not bad. I'm not sure if I'm going to paint the hull or not, if I do...it will have color (ice blue or fighting lady yellow).


Willy,

* I consulted the people at ICI about the primer and that is what he recomended, nice stuff. Believe me, after all that work, I wouldn't have used something I wasn't confident in.
