Default More paint on Das Boat. Almost done....this time.
Whatcha think? This was easier than spraying, but i didn't get a good buzz which sucked. One Part polyurethane topside paint mixed 12:4 ratio paint-to-thinner. This was the first coat and it laid out smooth. Can't really see any flaws in the paint itself (can see some of the rushed prep work) unless you get up close and nit-pick it. Topside was done in white and it came out smooth as glass. Still got two more very light coats of blue to go before I'll call it quits on paint and pull the painters tape.

Sanded old paint that didn't hold up well




First coat of paint rolled on

Bring gas money. If there's three dudes, we need 4 hot chicks (I'm single) and the bikini rule goes into effect. The the slims' bikinis are too big, they take them off until they find something more appropriate....and no heffalumps.

Looks good, DJ.

Are we just the backup for when the same thread over on CFOT gets locked and you get banned again?

I say this because Neece is bound to get involved.

Nah, Some stuff I'll post over here for those of you miscreants who aren't welcome over there anymore

Like...Stikki. I rarely see him on FB anymore and definitely don't see him at the other place
