LOL!

Added a couple more pics. Been really focused on this boat in the last 10-12 days. It's about time I got it finished, only been since last November & that's not including the over a year it sat on the shelf.

Hey Don, About the HOK paint, did you have to buy a quart or did you find a source that sells smaller amounts (pints)?

Don, what clear will you be using? I'm going to do some touch-ups on the joe I got from you. That code;(House Of Kolors purple pearl metallic #40), is that the only code you need to submit to get the right product?

Thanks

Hey Rob that actual paint # is 009608 PBC40.Q01. The clear I will be using is PPG Concept 2021. I'm not sure which clear Tony used on your S/J, I'll have to ask next time I talk to him. B)

Thanks Don, While were at it, Do you have a code for that Nascar yellow? When I phoned the paint guys here, they wanted to know which car? :lol:

 

[Russell Bear]

Come on Don. Any more pics of the fresh paint?

That sucks! <_< I subscribe to a couple of trade magazines (Autographics & Autoart) and they list vedors who sell small amounts. You might want to try these people out. http://www.coastairbrush.com/pages/43.html

Ok Russ this one's just for you. Still doing graphics, rear verticals are last to get done. Don't ever let anyone tell you this is an easy boat, of all the scales I've done this one is a real pain in the a$$, I think only the '97 Close Call I did back in 2000 was worse. Also, I found out from a good painter friend that the 12 hour "window" to clearcoat HOK is not really true. He told me he waits 2 or 3 days & typically the airbrush guys doing trick stuff over the HOK colors take that long anyway.

Thanks Big Daddy. I just added a couple more pics to the gallery after shooting the clearcoat. Now comes the fun part...wet sanding & polishing.

Great build thread you have going! It really lets a new boater know how much work goes into a scale Hydro. Keep the pics coming! B)

 

[Don Ferrette]

Well after an unfortunate setback from a bad batch of clear things are moving forward again. I certainly hope there will be no more setbacks as I need to race this boat in 2 weeks. :blink:
