Man what a project thankful that I have most of supplies on hand already alot of the products used for this reason


Finally got her in primer

Used a Cayalyzed Primer with flex additive


Painted back original color

Wanted to do some nice airbrushing, but I am doing this after work each day and just ran out of time so I just fogged a dolpin on each side of bow that will have to do. Hull painted and cleared. Next job, to spray the bottom black


Finished Hull

Now to get her back on the trailer so I can finish the deck and  install all that pretty wood
