Very pleased with my paint job. PPG base / clear over epoxy primer. He filled SEVERAL holes that I didn`t need. Painted cockpit and windshield frames. Took 8 weeks though ....

05-27-2009 12:27 PMIs that a model?
It's hard to imagine $1750 covering materials, supplies and consumables.

05-27-2009 01:52 PMDefinitely a nice price. Like Chris said Mat'l is so freaking high now days, the guy must work for free. I figure it is gonna cost me more than that to paint my boat and I will be doing it myself. How does it look in person, and what did he spray it with?

05-27-2009 10:30 PMThe painter WAY underestimated the job. He used 2 gallons of primer, 2 1/2 gallons color and 2 gallons clear. He says he figures he made about $2 / hour to do this job. His brother is a rep for PPG, so maybe, just maybe some materials were for "demo" purposes ... Originally Posted by Chris

05-27-2009 10:33 PMBoat looks good!
I need to get mine done soon.
I still have a lot of prep work that I want to do.
What did he use?
Just wondering how it's going to hold up - and I don't mean that to be negative.
I yanked my entire windshield, and removed glass, and planning on PC for all aluminum hardware on the boat.
I don't want to have to do it again in 2-3 years."Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".
atriot:Impressive....looks great!
