I sanded the top part of the boat today ,I had some cracks in gelcoat where it must have hit the bumper rails a little too hardand it spider cracked , Im not sure if im doing it right ,I sanded down to the fiberglass ,blended it in so the transition from fiberglass to paint was smoothon the outer edges , I am not sure if i need to prime this or not i am going to shoot it when ready with Awlcraft 2000. i think the top will be seafoam green the sides and bottom white,I will post more pics as i get further along. Anybody have Starcraft side emblems for sale they are aluminum plates

Use the 545 primer or Awlquick before you paint..or your gonna get Major pinholes in that thing ..

Nice to see someone has the right tool ( porter Cable ) ..
