Thinking of painting the bottom...

[nipper]

Yuck, I would not sand the bottom of a V20 for $100 bucks. I have only sanded bottom paint and repainted once, and I will never do it again! I have a rather long story to tell why not, but no time for it right now. Let's just say it has to do with the terribly toxic nature of bottom paint and accidental application thereof to one's must private part.

this guy says he will paint for $5 a foot, ask about sanding, it won't hurt??

Thanks!

If I was going with plan A, I would be bracing mine up in the stern similar to your pictures and see if I could do it without removing the trailer completely. Thanks for the details and pics!

Last craigslist I saw for soda blasting was about 700 bucks I think.

I will keep that guys number handy. I don't mind doing the painting itself, it's all the preparation.

Not sure how well the white paint would look, it would may be "too white" anyhow.

Perhaps I should just keep it blue which could drastically reduce the prep work.

Yes, MJ I am looking forward to your slip party!
