Put some no skid strips on those fender tops. Galvanized can be like ice when wet.

thanks DJ

their alum. fenders, but i agree i saw some peices that look like black sand paper with peel and stick bottoms

well the paint didn't come out as good as i wanted, but not as bad as i expected. i think the temp down here might have something to do with it( oh and also i can't paint) when i primed i rolled with a foam brush, then tried to tip but the paint was drying too fast(in the 90's) so i tried to spray(did i say i don't know what i'm doing) don't laugh.

I really like the color! Unless you paint everyday, its hard to get it "right", but it sure looks good to me!

i was going to add "HELP" in white on it just in case.

Re: 1986 21 ft starcraft cc restore

does anyone know of a good way to remove decals without lifting the paint?

Heat gun, sharp edge, and some acetone to remove the sticky stuff. Have fun!

I use spray on Eucalyptus oil then mop up with paper towels. Dissolves the glue and smells great!

Have you tried Goo Gone? Something with citrus, or maybe it will take stripper?

That's all I've got...2 cents worth... :redface:

Re: 1986 21 ft starcraft cc restore

we've been getting some afternoon rains but i managed to play alittle with the stripe to see how it would look

[/IMG]

i like it(you can see the glue from the decals,*#@$%&*)

i might try to flip it and put it back on the trailer (just me, the wife and my 2 boys)

i'm alittle short on the rub rail can i buy like a foot of it? i also need the port side rear end cap any ideas on where to get these?

Re: 1986 21 ft starcraft cc restore

This is gonna sound weird, but I like to use a chunk of rubber to remove extra adhesive. You can use a white eraser, but they are usually a little soft. I use a 50 durometer white mold making rubber. You just rub it on the adhesive until it balls up falls off.

Re: 1986 21 ft starcraft cc restore

I'm trying to find some of that rub rail as well I havent found anything close to what I have. I need 1 whole side. If all you are needing is a foot I have maybe 5 ft or so that was salvageable from my boat. I just want it to be 1 piece and since I am going to have to buy over 20 ft anyway I may as well not splice it. Just send me an address and I'll send you what I have if its the same.
