I went down to my local Paint Mart which is the only real paint store here thinking that I could get them to match the paint but they said they no longer handle paint for boats ! So now I'm wondering where the heck am I...

Of course when mixing the paint and before shooting the 2nd coat of primer the %$*%^^%$#$# wind started up and by the time I was done with the second primer coat the wind was blowing around 6-8 mph. I had...

    About Majic brand paints

    I have just used some flat black Majic brand paint on the windshield frames for my boat yesterday . One side turned out good and one side I screwed up and it had too many runs in the primer that showed and I gouged the new paint up pretty bad in many spots getting the side window back into the...

    Ok , I'm stopping at two coats , starting to pile up a little here and there so good enough. Hopeful to install tomorrow. That should be interesting as I do not believe that the consoles are anywhere near equally lined up.

    Dang , could have used that bit of knowledge a long time ago . Too late for the window frames with the primer but will shoot the top coats accordingly with your methods. I bought this touch up gun to shoot these frames with( and other smaller jobs ) but have never used it , don't suppose...

    Not so happy with my overall results but it's in place and I can finally move on to the windshield and then the side panels and cushions. I got this feeling that the windshield will be just a big of a pain as the dash was but no matter I'll get er done one way or another. here is a picture...

    Well I certainly suck at fiberglass repair , I must have sanded and re applied the filler on these cracks 5 times and have not gotten it right yet. If I sand it down nice and smooth the cracks show up and if I try to leave a little meat on there It shows up as a glob . I'm going to hit the...
