What does a $1750 PAINT JOB look like ??

[Hard Charger]

Hey is that your old boat ? I saw it online and used it as inspiration and to show the wife how much better it would look.



I am planning graphics soon.

DonMan, thats my old boat. When I got it had bottom paint and gel graphics on the sides that I didnt care for. My brother and I stipped, sanded, masked and painted the bottom and sides. Here is a few more pics.

The painter WAY underestimated the job. He used 2 gallons of primer, 2 1/2 gallons color and 2 gallons clear. He says he figures he made about $2 / hour to do this job. His brother is a rep for PPG, so maybe, just maybe some materials were for "demo" purposes ...

you dont make that mistake twice

I completely reupholstered the interior and am installing Lonseal floor.

Really you think so?? Does not sound that quick to me. Also due to his thread on Speedwake not to him either! Boat looks great!

A friend of mine paints, along with everything else on boats, and the hours it takes to prep and finish a paint job is crazy. He is also a one man show which probably explains alot.

Nice. Thinking about repainting my 24. Anyone seen graphics like mine before? Should I leave them?

Any one looking for a blower hatch. My 24x7 python has undergone an engine swap and no more blower, so now I have the raised hatch with a hole in it. I don't want a scoop, just sunpad for the boat ornaments!!! Taking offers or trade for stock hatch. 803-457-3050.

Looks nice... I was gonna suggest tinting the windows could be a good look.

Whats the speed/hp and prop setups on your pythons. Mirage+, bravo 1, merc rev 4?

Looks really good and clean. When I had my Formula repainted, I was torn between all white and what I actually went with. Here is a before and after on mine.

Mine ran me $2,000 but I did most prep work and the final wet sand and buff myself.
