New Paint Job on my 22 SS

Here are a couple pics (sorry for the phone pic quality) of the new paint job on my 1978 22' SS. I think it turned out well. Next step is start the rebuilding of the inside.

Nice job...the paint scheme looks really good

Are you rebuilding the interior with the orginal layout or custom?

You should start a restoration thread and post some more pics of that beauty. We absolutely love the 22' SS hulls.

Ok, Ok, I'll have to admit - I did not paint the boat myself (my wife wanted it to look good). I had it done by a professional shop in SLC. They sanded it down to bare aluminum and applied a primer and then many coats of the colors. The top line is a navy blue and the boat is a true white. What really amazed me after it was painted was how there were almost no dents in the hull. There is one small dent the size of a dime on one side and that is it - not bad for a 32 year old boat.

I will post some pics of the rebuild as I go on.

The inside is going to be the original layout but with all new stuff.

I'll added a pic of what it looked like before the paint job as well.

Not right now but I will post some after the motor gets back from the machine shop. It is all new on the inside.
