Nate,

I do have some before pics. However, they are not digital and I do not have a color scanner. When I finish assembling the whole project and post the final pics (in a week or two) I will have the "before" pics scanned for posting... The hulls were a mess ... some holes...several poorly attempted repairs (from years gone by) that had to be cut/ground out, and a huge (unidentified) chemical burn. Moral of the story...if you plan ahead, spend some money, and do all the grunt work while resisting the urge to take shortcuts - then your "real bad shape" boat will be beautiful again.




DSYC,

The product I used was EP-FD 2-part epoxy primer and EX-2C 2-part polyurethane topcoat - both from Endura (a canadian company). I originally planned to use a primer and paint from Awlgrip, but the Endura was a little cheaper, and judging from what I have been told, Endura is at least as good as Awlgrip. After using both, I would agree.

It takes roughly 20 oz (total) of paint or primer (sprayed) to do a single coat over both hull bottoms and about 8 to 10 oz (total) to do a single coat over both hull caps/tops.
