I knew there was a glastron under all that crappy paint just screaming to get out.... and it does... why would anyone cover up such nice lines?   Hopefully within the next couple weeks the swan will emerge.... gotta love that “swoosh”...

It’s all in sealer now.    Got a few runs so I have to fix that before the paint.. hopefully tomorrow. The more I paint the less I know.... Anyone want to give lessons on how to paint?

Back in color.... didn’t turn out so bad... little wet sanding and a buff should look nice. The swan is coming out...   colors, orange crush pearl and Wimbledon white.

Looking Good. It doesn't look like you need much guidance in painting. My painting skills stop at a rattle can.

I've amateur painted vehicles for 30 years, and honestly, your work looks great.  Seems over the years they found a way to formulate products that allow us to recover from the mistakes we all make.  Nothing to be ashamed of, I think it looks great.  Hope to see it in person in August.

Still have a few tweaks to do to the motor but hopefully I’ll get it in the water soon.. my brother bought it from me so it will be at the gathering at T.I.and we are looking forward to it. The hole family is coming and are bringing all my project boats.. I am just an amateur so they are not ”showboats” but I like to call them “go boats”.. .   “ keep them on the water !”
