No. It had a nappy texture. Here is a pic of the final result. We added radar, chart plotter, new arch and replaced some teak on the front deck with stainless steel.Thanks, I assume it was a foam roller?
...and replaced some teak on the front deck with stainless steel.
Yes. We stored the boat at Barrett's in Spring Lake at the time. The shop had a bin full of salvage parts from various sources. They cut some damaged bow rails down to fit our length and placed bends on each end and through bolted them. The boat had a mouse fur headliner. We cut some pieces of that off that was behind lockers and out of sight. These were used to cover the stainless steel screw heads above the berth. We tired of taking care of teak and this solution made that issue go away. Nice upgrade.Do you remember where you got the stainless steel for the front deck?
Yes sir that’s some good advice. I’d do anything to avoid opening up that can of worms.If you mask well, you wouldn't need to remove the windshield. Remember - good prep is the key to a good paint job.
It has some type of black hard material, I cant really explain. My intent is to make a template, have it CAD then have it woodgrain wrapped by dripping. Will change the original gauges to white faces and replace blue vinyl wrapped around instrument panel with white vinyl, to include a wood steering wheel.....Is your dash gel coat or covered with vinyl? My 87' 290 Amberjack is covered with vinyl - holding up ok but will need some work on day I'm sure. I'm upgrading the instrument cluster to all glass MFD's - leaving the vinyl around it for now.
Where was this topcoat purchased? I want to do mine in white. ThanksI used Topcoat worked out pretty good, battleship grey was the colour I used. I rolled and cut the top side and dash. Prep was time consuming but I’m happy with the outcome.
Cheers Rob
