sand & paint bottom

[hardboiled]

Where i can find some cheap roll of plastic to put around the boat to stop the dust spreading around the houses?

You can use it to store the boat under when you're done, one of the portable canopys would work as a paint booth. The ones from Sams Club has sides, usually around $200.

Careful about the accumulation of fumes while you're in there, wouldn't suggest a fan either. Just spray a section, let the vapors settle then do another section.

Nice canopy i will have in mind to see if i can get it.
Just now i separate the trailer from the boat to prepare things up.

I need to replace several rust parts on the trailer and i need an economic place to buy the parts from, like the 8 Vertical Bunk Brackets and a few square U-bolts, also i will need some tires.

How many Quarts of paint i gonna need for this bottom, 4 Quarts?

Lets say i add 4 coats of paint, i found this Rustoleum Bottom paint but cost $30 a Quart, so it isnt cheap

NO !!, use boat bottom paint. If ya gonna keep it on a trailer, they have boat trailer bottom paint. The paint doesnt come off like anti fouling paint. Thats the paint that wears off every season. One gallon of black bottom paint should just be enough.
The barrier coat primer paint comes in a kit. You should get two coats on with one kit.
Nice V, Looks like mine before I did all the work to it. Dont give up. Keep working on it and post Pics.

My bottom was in the same condition. I used West system and then painted the bottom
with barrier coat and with black bottom coat.
