My buddy hit me up asking if I'd paint a boat mid last year. I said sure, not really thinking he'd purchase one. Well then he calls me up saying he's going to look at this boat, do I want to come with. So we go and look at the boat and he ends up purchasing it. Now I see the wreck of a boat it is, needs new floors, interior is shot, just filthy. He asks me, "What will you paint it for?" Being a good friend that I believe will never get it ready for paint I reply with, "150, but I'm not prepping a thing only spraying."
Well, **** me here she is:

Sorry for the shitty cell phone pics. Shes a 24 or 25 foot Switzer which is apparently now owned by Baja. 350 I/O. Not a bad boat. I have a lot of buffing to do, as you can see she was painted in a garage. But over all, she came out great considering. Five coats of clear over the stripes so I should be able to sand and buff the edges smooth.
The yellow is a Ford color, I can't recall the code off the top of my head though. Red is Chevrolet and the orange was a tinted Chrysler color to match his seats.
Biggest job I've done and I can say I won't be painting any more boats, especially not for a buck fitty. :shrug:
Just thought I'd share!
