Did my boat exactly the way you said in the videos! Turned out perfect!! Thanks!
Glad to hear it! Hope you enjoy it!
I love the video and I’m restoring my flat bottom John boat and this video will really help me
This is awesome. I’m restoring my boat now.
After watching you paint your boat I did mine & it turned out great. Thanks for the video. I used the same brand paint in khaki color
Now I’m in the process of installing my seats & some rod holders
Awesome! Very glad to hear and thank you for the support! Find me on Instagram and send me some pictures of the boat. Looking forward to keeping up with you!
Fair warning truck bed liner will help with abrasion, but the drag is insane. I lost almost ten mph when I painted the hull with truck bed liner. So you have to decide is the durability worth the sacrifice of speed.
Did you say 10mph.....
Do thwyake any slick or smooth liners?
Did you apply 60 gallons? 10mph seems a little extreme no?
Buddy I think you got carb issues
My brother in Christ it's your dependapotamus wife not the bed liner 😂
Awesome video man!!!! I like the way you put the video together. Good job keep them coming.
Thank you Devon! I’ve got 2 more coming in the next week...EVA Foam Install & the Maiden Voyage! Thank you for the compliment & support!
I did the whole I side of my boat with duplicolor spray bedliner in sandstorm color and it looks and functions great.
Awesome! Glad to help and thank you for your support! Good luck fishing!
Awesome Job👍🏾💯🔥🔥🔥. I just bought my 1st boat yesterday. A used 12 ft jon boat. Finding your Channell is a true Blessing. Do you have beginner videos for a newbie like me, that instructs on how to start from scratch? I subscribed.
I was looking for this !
Let me know how I can help!
Very nice finished product👍 Makes me wish I would have sprayed when restoring my Jon boat. Good job👍👍
Since it’s been a while I’ll ask. How’s it holding up? Did you do more than one coat? Debating paints but this looks like the more khaki color I want for inside.
Starting on my jon boat restoration now. When you re-riveted, did you put silicone in the holes first?
What size air compressor on did you use
Great video, nice work! Thanks for posting. Just picked up a 2002 and thinking of following your lead. First want to cut some serious oxidation from years of sitting. Any tips? Tried Starbrite aluminum cleaner / restorer. Still chalky.
Thank you Kevin for your support! I’ve used naval jelly to remove rust and sanding! Are you taking it to bare metal? And is there enough aluminum to sand? I’ve seen some that have almost pock marks.
What kind of primer did you use?
Looks really good and great video. Can I ask why the braces are welded on at the transom?
It was like that when I bought it. I assume the previous owner had a bigger outboard on it & not enough transom to support it. Their “fix” was add those aluminum bracings. My sturdy transom did the job!
I used OD green aluminum siding paint purchase from home Depot and a brush turned out good enough and it was a lot cheaper and the stuff has been on there for 4 years so it's not coming off anytime soon it doesn't really scratch too much
Can u roll it or should I spray it with spray gun?
Awesome video
Thank you for watching!
Great content! When are you starting the next project?
Ben Zhuk I’m in the process right now of finalizing the EVA Foam on the subfloor. Should be out tomorrow or Monday at the latest! Thank you for watching!
Whats your psi on the compressor?
You need to rotate the air cap horns 90 degrees if you are going side to side, the way you have it the fan would be best for a up and down spray pattern.
Looks good, great video series.
Thank you for the advice! I am going to touch up the inside of the boat very soon and will rotate them...and get some video! Thank you for the support!
I was going to paint my boat but I couldn't catch the Katydid to go on the front!?!?
Could you please tell me how to prep the bottom before using the acetone, and how to use the acetone to prep. I'm a total newbie to this. This is my first ( boat) jon boat ever.
Depending on the condition of the boat and the condition of the paint, I would recommend removing the old paint from the bottom with either a paint stripper or sanding it off. If you bring it to the bear aluminum you’ll need to use the self etching primer on any bare aluminum on your boat. Find me on Instagram at the same name and we can link up there to talk more! Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing your progress.
Hey man, what type of sprayer are you using and what size air compressor do you have?
It’s a Husky Siphon Fed general purpose spray gun. I have a link in the description. I have an old 8 gallon air compressor; a smaller 6 gallon will work. Thank you for the support! Let me know how else I can help!
Just remember the purpose of bed liner is to be tough yes but also grippy and of u go shallow it definitely wont help one bit, plus all the drag. Its worth it to get gator glide, it tough and its slicker than snot. There is just some things worth doing right and this is one of them. Bed liner is great on the inside though, just don’t use black
Thank you for the support and advice! At the time, gator glide would have been double what I paid for the boat (for real, no exaggeration) but the more I put in to the boat, it’s definitely an upgrade I’m going to look in to.
Flip My Jon Boat i get the price difference, i live by the buy once cry once thing lol. Costs more upfront but the performance gain is worth the money for me. Its just a preference, alot of people dont get into mud as much as i do so for some gator glide isn’t worth it but sometimes my ducks spots have almost no water so i have to skate across the mud so for me personally the gator glide is a must have
@@jimboneutron8399 you’ve sold me! I’ll have to make it a future video!
How has the bed liner and paint held up over time with wear and tear?
So far so good. There are a few scratches on the paint from me working on it and using it. I’ve only launched the boat from land once (not straight into water from a ramp & trailer) and the bed liner is fine. I would assume repeated use like that might wear it some...one of the previous comments recommended gator glide which is on the agenda soon!
how much paint did it take to paint the whole boat inside and out. i have a 12 ft jon boat i’m painting but trying to figure out if the quart will do it or if i need a gallon?
Did you ever find out? I'm wanting to do the same on a 1232
Would you recommend using a primer with this paint?
Absolutely...and I would recommend it with any brand paint you use. If you’re using it on top of bare aluminum, def use the self etching primer first.
Would you use a primer even with a primer+paint?
Recommend a paint respirator not cloth mask to protect lungs. Boat looks great.
Will the bed liner do a decent job of sealing any minor leaks like in the seams?
Does the truck bed liner cause more drag on the boat during operation
Yes, big time
You can get the Magic paint at tractor Supply
Nice! The one nearest to me only had the spray cans for about $6.50 a piece. Have you used the paint?
How’s the paint holding up?
Fishing with Jack.U really well! Took it out for the first time last week. Knocked it around a little and the Majic paint is holding up for sure!
How's the paint holding up?
Paint is holding up well! I’ve washed the boat a few times and it’s perfect. There was some scratching where I was pulling my floor panels out - but I think that’s to be expected with any paint in high abrasive areas. I’ve heard reviews from other followers they’re hesitant to use Majic paint but it’s held up well so far.
@@flipmyjonboat4485 i got a gallon coming tomorrow hope to spray it Saturday or sunday
@@hunterdka keep me updated - I’m on Instagram under the same name! Link up with me there too!
So you did primer before using truck liner?
Great video
I used the self-etching primer on the sides of the boat & front of the boat where the truck bed liner was painted where you saw the edge in the video. However, I did not use the self-etching primer on the very bottom.
Flip My Jon Boat ah gotcha! You notice any difference? Starting to prep my boat this weekend for paint. Going with almost the exact same layout you did. Can’t wait. I appreciate you putting this out there. Definitely helpful
I’m glad (and humbled) I helped. I took it out last weekend on a local pond, no boat ramp and slid it in. I didn’t see any “damage” after getting it back on the trailer. I did lightly sand it before applying the truck bed liner...I don’t think I mentioned that earlier or in the video. Keep me updated on your Jon Boat!
Flip My Jon Boat awesome! Will do my man, thank you again for the info/help
How has this held up so far?
Excellent! Doing the prep work makes a big difference & the sprayer puts on an even coat. The paint is durable & holding up nicely.
@@flipmyjonboat4485 Awesome. I'm getting ready to paint mine.
Awesome! Connect with me on Instagram so I can keep up with you. Feel free to DM me!
Despite the all swings and trampoline in his backyard, we all know that his kids and the neighborhood kids were playing in his boat that day
It’s actually a favorite activity of the kids 😂
I still keep laughing at this comment...so true!
Dude, do long passes with the spray gun. You would have been done SO MUCH faster and much more even coverage. You should be able to cover your entire wing span per section. You would have sprayed that in no time, had much better coverage and wasted less paint.
Professionally….. 😂😆nice…
You really should get a 3M Respirator. They are about $30 and make a huge difference. That gator facemask you have is not going to protect your lungs at all.
Thank you for your concern and I will definitely get one for the future.
Nope
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️
Change the title to how to ruin a boat. Painting the bottom with truck bed liner will make the boat very very slow.
John! Thanks for the positive reinforcement. What would you recommend? Would love to hear your thoughts and feature you on the next video. THEN we could call it “How to Ruin a Jon Boat”…
