Re: Cruise Craft Restoration

Well I don't know what Australian winters are like, but if they're nicer than here I might just fly my boat down there <br /><br />Saw the other pictures and it really looks like all the prep work payed off big time. Looks like a really mirror smooth finish.. again great job!

Re: Cruise Craft Restoration

You could probably pass that motor off as brand new. WOW! Definately brought it back to life!

Re: Cruise Craft Restoration

Everything surely looks great, I'm looking foreward to see more as you get nearer to finishing everything. I am going to paint my own boat soon here in Denmark, and I am corious about the roll and tip. I thought the meaning was to use shorthaired mohair painting pads to tip, but I see you used a long haired brush. Did you just use the brush to level the rolled out paint or what ?? It looks fantastic, I was going to spray it on, but never tried that either.

Re: Cruise Craft Restoration

thanks for the posts guys.<br />G Dane, tipping can be done with either a foam or a brush. Definatly roll with a foam roller though. I found better tipping results with a brush and yes, it barely touched the paint, just levels it. The brush stays almost dry.<br /><br />cheers
