Paint looks awesome for a carport paint job. SPray a sealant over it, it'll help hold it together and last longer |

My other gd held up real good...I doubt ill seal it tho. I like the flat look even though its harder to keep clean. I have bottomland planned for the future anyway. The local mudbuddy dealer saw my last boat and thought that carport job was factory paint. Sent from my iPhone 5 |

[youtube][/youtube][quote="med"]What is the going rate these days? I got a quote from BFC Marine who builds Gator Trax boats. To repaint and camo the whole boat is $650. It's. 44 incn bottom hull. A new boat that size is $583. Cost more for used boats because of the extra prep. My hull is 2003 and is still in real good shape on the outside. $325 to camo just the outside. I bought it used 2 years ago and want to get it looking new again. There paint really holds on though. Also getting Hydro turf on all the flat surfaces. They will subtract $125 from the paint job if hydro turf is installed because there will be less painting. |

Kem400 is the base on my boat but didn't have enough to shoot the motor so I just hit it with the rattle cans. Cleaned it good, primed the metal then shot the paint. The khaki colored camo krylon matched the kem paint almost perfect. Sent from my iPhone 5 |
