WOW,  you have set the bar high!  Do you have a paint booth?  That certainly makes things nice.  Ive been wondering how I will paint in my boat barn.  Worried about all the spiders and junk choking out and falling into the paint from the fumes.  Maybe I could cover the boat and set off a bug bomb or something...

It's not that big of a problem, you just sand them off and paint it again :) Once you paint and fume the first time there are very little that fall out the next time. At least that's what I tell myself 5 feet from where I am looking at my visor from...

Looks great rbob! I was wondering when I would get to see your masterpiece of a roof painted. It's seriously crazy how high you are setting the bar. Well done.

Todd,

I used Fiberlay PVC80 1/2" Rigid PVC Foam.  I just checked their site and its not showing up so may have to give a call.

I hope I did not set the bar high for spraying primer..  it does lay down pretty nice for primer,  its epoxy primer, 1:1 mix and sticks like glue.

I tried to match the color for the curb visor similar to the blue on the Mercury engine cover.  maybe paint tomorrow night.

Got up and 4:00 am, painted and clear coated the curb visor.

I could have sanded spent more time with the 320 grit after I final blocked with 220 so I may do a little buffing, another lesson learned.   I will get the rest of the roof painted this weekend and haul it home for the install.

Thank you,

Not as nice as it looks in the pic, it shows some sand-scratches which I will avoid when I paint the rest.

  I had my wife help me with the color selection, trying to be fairly close to the Mercury accent color.

Did you buy a wallas diesel heater for your boat?   I’m shopping kit prices while considering the likelihood I may need service.  They sure are spendy

Yes on Wallas heater.  Spendy for sure but worth every penny.
