Nice job bringing it back!

Yes. I got the same exact thing and off of Amazon as well. Glad you like it. I watched some favorable video reviews that used the gun I bought and this exact clear. I thought it was worth a shot for 54.00.

I haven’t used it yet. I’m using can primer (SEM High Build) and I’m using Spraymaxx 2k Hot Rod Black for the trim. My main focus for this project was to use the gun and a different clear. I wanted to see how good of a job I could do. I may spray primer and base with the gun in the future...

Great point and I’ll remember that one John. My compressor is not oil lubed (sealed at factory). If I ever do get one that requires oil maintenance, I’ll be sure to switch out to synthetic right away.

White Primer (aka white base coat) sprayed today. Overall I’m pretty pleased. There’s maybe 5 small areas along some seams that need some spot filler. Other than that, not bad. I’ll wet sand with 600, spot fill, spot prime, then give the whole top and sides one more coat for uniformity, and...

Holy Smokes, they must have brought that in with a crane!

Yeah that’s incredibly frustrating. For that amount of money, those things should be bullet proof.

I’ve used it a couple times now, The first time was the Gray High Build a couple years ago and the 2nd was just recently and it was the 42043 white high build primer. I can’t say I have any complaints thus far. The cans sprayed ok and it flashed and dried in 58 deg temps. The one thing I ran...

Looks like a slick rig Leighton. I’m interested in how the no bar performs for you. I was going to try that about a year ago and he basically talked me out of using it on a hydro. I believe the silicone on the tube will address what his concerns were then. Look forward to the video. I’m...

Check and check. I have strainers and Tack Cloths. The glass measuring cup is a good idea . I have a 5 gallon gas can I could probably use that has some old gas in it. I don’t imagine mixing gas and paint would cause an explosion, at least not a horrible one anyway😂😂😂. We’ll see what else I...

I was going to use an in-line filter right before the reg and gun. I will get some lacquer thinner before I do this for sure. I’ve got a respirator mask with replaceable filters in the cartridges that I’ve used with Spraymax in the past. So far so good. I make sure it is good and tight around...

I too will be doing the 79 Circus. I have the kit, the cowl, wings, etc… just haven’t got to building it. The Air Force paint job looks a lot easier for sure. I saw both the Circus and the Squire sister hulls run in Madison that year. I think Steve was a rookie and man was he charging hard in...

Simple little setup. You can paint an RC boat with that but takes some effort as you know. I have a PC 150 PSI compressor that’s 6 gallons. I didn’t want to be halfway down a side of the boat and have it start spitting paint irregularly and when I found the deal on the larger compressor I...

About a month ago we started a light remodel in the upstairs of our condo (namely flooring, paint, trim, and a brand new master closet area with modern shelving etc…) and that is still ongoing, so it’s been hard for me to get to the boat. I have been intermittently working on the Lauterbach...

I’m so thankful for the few out there that still support the RC Boating community by providing a solid platform for success in the hobby. People like Phil, Brian and Bob Blazer, Mike with ML Boatworks, Zippkits, RC Boat Co., Bill Brandt, Stu Barr, Gizmo, Hanson, Maston, Speedmaster, and the...

On Facebook Messenger, his handle is just his name. Be mindful of the spelling. It is Jason Pomerleau. OR… on Facebook itself, there’s a group called Anything Hydroplanes. He’s active on there. You could reply to one of his posts and tell him to contact you about a kit.

Cool thanks for sharing. Good luck with the paint job!

What kind of temps are we talking about painting in? Just out of curiosity. I’d like to get some primer on the Lauterbach but highest temps in the near future will be upper 40’s or low 50’s. What’s your rule of thumb for primer, base clear, etc…?

Anxious to hear how it goes!

Bert, Send him a message through Facebook Messenger. That’s how I’ve always communicated with him. I bought a gas size gp kit from him last year but haven’t built it yet. Kit looks nice though.
