Some progress pics
Well, spent the weekend sanding and laying primer. Here's a couple of pics.

Re: Some progress pics
Looks good. What are you using for primer? What color are you planning to paint it? BranZ

Re: Some progress pics
I'm using Southern Polyeurathane's 2 part epoxy. Martinsr suggested it. Eventually she will be 2003 Chevy Indigo Blue. Thanks, Jeff.

Re: Some progress pics
There was little or no undercoat on the underside. Just rust. As you can see there is still some under the edges. I just sanded the surface rust as best I could and then painted the primer around the perimeter. Still got to get to the edges to get the rest of the rust out before I can spray in there. Krue, I like that color too. I think it will go well with the white top. Thanks, Jeff.

Re: Some progress pics
Not likely Frenchy. The ships schedule is ramping up again, so I'll be gone most of the spring and summer. Here's a couple more photos from this weekend. Jeff

I have plenty, when you sit on something for 8 months and still counting and all it needs is a freaking paint job to be finished, you learn to adapt

Re: Some progress pics
VT, I'm still learning as I go. This is my very first time painting anything, and I'm still learning body work, although I did all of it on the Cheyenne. Hence the reason its a 20 footer.
