The best paint job possible! I really liked this.
Been waiting a long time to see this finished. Great job!
This stuff isn't the AWL grip I used as a kid. Nice work.
Thanks! I need to get back into making videos
That's an amazing job brother , Thanks for sharing such wonderful skills .
The boat looks great! I continue to pick up on little details that are going to really pay off, once I get my boat ready to paint. Thank you again for making it look so easy and explaining the process in an easy to understand way.
Awesome work!! Thank You Frankie!
nice job brotha
The boat looks amazing 👏 thanks for the tips 👍
Really noice! Very refreshing to see someone who really cares about their work! Great job on the series and look forward to more.
Beautiful !!
As always, the best and most effective instruction and video format. Every second of it from materials to techniques. We realize it is difficult to plan and video record while doing such fine work, so thank you!
It looks absolutely incredible another excellent job you are the best!!!
Another great series! Great job
Looks great. Keep making the videos and thanks for the tips
Boat looks amazing ..thanks for the vids very helpful in planning the repaint of my boat in couple months time
Pretty work Sir
Amazing finish bro...
Impressive work as always Frankie. Great job buddy..
Hi Frankie. Wow. I bet the owner will extremely happy with it. Absolutely bling with the Bushong magic. Been a great series. Thanks 😊
Well worth the wait! I should have my paint on within the week, white! maybe super jet black on the next one. I thank you once again for taking the time to educate us all on how to not make a mess of it.
Your the man love how you just get right to the point
Bro! You killed it always enjoy your videos. You got mad painting Skilz, keep up the videos. :)
very nice !!!
very nice job Frankie
Thank You 🙏
Nice !!
Looks great Frankie. I always liked shooting dark colors. The heavy pigment paint seems to hang better.
Gday mate that finish is amazing like a mirror , unfortunatley for me my next job is a roller job due to enviro concerns (sucks) , never done one before hoping it will turn out ok wont be anything like that though it will be done with a two pack polyurathane primer and top coat ,great job there though .
Love following these vids learning a lot, but you need 1 more to close out the series. Show her fully rigged and on the water
Looks great, I've painted a couple small boats, and cars. You make it look easy, i know it is not. Floor finish is much easier.
Mate you really took some extra steps with this boat and those videos. I've watched all of them and you've improved a lot mate. I like how you don't mind repeating stuff because you know there are new people coming to your channel every time. This boat came out like a mirror, you must be very proud of how shinning it is. It makes all the prep work worth it, right?! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! Thanks to you I've made my way up in the boat industry here in Australia. I'm finishing my boat building course this year but I'll keep doing finishings/repairs because it's what I am passionate about. Hopefully I'll be able to go to America one day and pay ya a beer 😂 Cheers legend✌🏼
Meticulous! 💥
You are awesome man. Would you consider showing how to add a rub rail? My boat has a really heavy duty rub rail and I can't see how to turn the corners then add the inserts
looks great as always dude. The Extreme Black is a bit darker I think than the Super Jet Black was.
Very nice! Any chance you can show us how to mask off because I can never get a satisfactory line and never in one piece. Thanks!
always a great job. just wondering if you could ever make a video doing the bottom paint (below the water line), keel part of a boat and what different products you would use for that
I will do.
As always, amazing job Frankie!
Question, what model sander and what brand sandpaper are you using here?
I'm in the middle of prepping my Hudson Force 50. I used the 3M Acrylifiller and really dislike it. I know you said it would shrink and it did, but I am finding that it also swells with 545 over the top so when I sanded the 545 it opens up the filler and now I am concerned the Awlgrip will swell it again. What is your experience with this? Long boarding a 50 foot hull is something I really don't ever want to do again.
Thanks for your videos.
BUSHONGED!
Really nice and concise. Do you prefer to remove masking tape when wet or allow to dry? Would you wet sand and polish the final coat after or just good to go?
What paper are you using ? Looks like 3m. Shooting black sperates the men from the boys, top notch work!
Third comment liar that's a Black mirror I've never seen black shine like that beautiful job well worth it if I get about I'm coming to you so you better not retire and slow down you're making me tired
That came up a treat, lov watching you work.
Couple of quick questions, how do you know when to change your sanding disks, and secondly do you ever clear coat of the paint.
Changing the discs is something you notice while sanding. When you start with a new disc it sand great and makes progress. When you start noticing it taking longer to get the finish sanding done, change the paper. Clear coat. No. Unless it’s metallic. Clear coat doesn’t belong on a boat that spends its life on/in saltwater. At least that’s my opinion
Clear coat is definitely the way to go.
But a bit more expensive.
The colours in the solid fade over time.
The SE range from awlgrip is designed for this.
I see you still kicking .. Sweet !! I wish you were near by !! I hate painting but going to learn how .So what tune do you have in youre head wile painting ? The who seems to always pop up in mine . LOL
Looks like a mirror
Frankie - Love your work. Appreciate the videos and the information sharing. 1. Just wondering how much primer you mix up at a time? How much paint at 1 time? Do you mix during the short cure times between coats? 2. Just wondering as we never see that part in your videos, (when you mix and how much at a time for 545 and 2000) Thanks!! 3. Also, I assume you would go with a gray Primer with a Stars and Stripes Blue Color? (I know you like gray regardless) Have you painted stars and stripes blue before?
Great videos and instruction, thank you! How do you sand the corners?
Not really sure I understand the question. Lol. Around the transom corners and bow corner, I roll the sander around it the best I can. Then when I do my final rinse with a scotchbrite, that’s when I really concentrate on corners. It always works great and comes out like it’s supposed to. Paint definitely sticks and you don’t have to worry about it flaking off. Hope this answers what you were asking 👌
Thank you! That’s exactly what I was asking.
Awesome video! Quick question. I want to awlgrip the inside of my boat, but the surface is rough from the factory (gelcoated over un-sanded glass) how would i go about getting a good bond? sanding only touches the high spots even with a sanding sponge. Would seahawk s90 etch the gelcoat enough for 545 primer?
No, etch won't suffice.
Do you have any videos on refinishing the bottom below the waterline?
Question: Why is the underside left dirty? The painting is perfect top notch.
I know money is different for different boats but how about ball park. I love your dedication to the job would it be nice just to have ideas of what it would cost if I had a boat roughly the size by that size. I want you to do it.
This is awesome! All your videos are great! Straight to the point! Can I ask you when you mix the paint is that for all 3 coats? Or just one coat? Than you mix again for the second coat?
I mix it for all coats. If after I spray second coat and it looks questionable then I’ll mix up a little more. Nothing worse than running out of paint on last coat. lol
Any plans for posting/doing a bottom paint job?
Being that it’s super jet black do you have to wet sand and compound after? Also, when you’re priming and painting what do you do with your excess? Do you mix a fresh batch between coats since it has to be dry between coats?
Question ?? I'm looking for a really good epoxy paint to put on the deck of our small bay boat . I'm looking for something that will hold up to hell . Every says awlgrip but what kind too buy and where ?? ( no spray . roller or brush )
Would like to see it all finished with thru hulls and stainless rub rails.
No problem. 👌
I notice the floor is wet, did you spray the floor with water on purpose to help with the dust?
What kind of compressor do you use - the HP, storage and air volume in CFM? Thanks!
23.5 cfm’s @175 psi. 80 gallon tank.
Another thing would be I wish I had your energy and your bendability I'm too old for that kind of stuff.
What is the minimum compressor size you would need to spray?
Is that product considered gel coat and does or require wet sanding and buffing?
This is paint and no wet sanding or clear coat needed 👌
where do you live and could i come see you and watch you work some time. thanks as always.
I’m in middlesex va👌
Awesome Frankie. What is the fair price for his job on a 23 Baja Outlaw? Thank you.
Just the hull? 4 grand is fair if taking it somewhere to have it painted. There’s a lot of factors the play into effect also. Just depends on what the condition is and how many colors you want. A 23 ft boat could easily cost 10 grand plus if you were wanting a tricked out paint job with Graphics
@@boatpaintingrestorationwit3029 Thank you. I live in Florida or you would have my biz. I want the bow deck and gunrails done also. Sure that adds a couple g's. Thanks again for the good info and videos.
Can awlgrip be applied on a car?
hi Frankie
,i just want say tank for suggest me the alexseal paint it very nice wet look and hard finish ,
juste want to ask one question ?
do you already try wet on wet with the 545 primer ant the awlcraft
tanks for reply
Haven’t seen you post in a long time. I got my business up and running down here in The Bahamas but I’m having trouble with pricing jobs. How much something like this cost?
Where are you located in Virginia? I would get on a waiting list to have our boat (2006 Sea Fox 23WA) painted by you. I'm in Chesterfield, Virginia
I am at Rappahannock yachts in irvinton Virginia. 804-438-5353. Patsy is who you would speak with to exchange info. 👌
How much Awlcraft is used in something like this? 1/2 gallon... More? Looked to me like 3 coats.
Just seeing this. I ended up doing 4 coats and it took close to 3qts of base. All in all it was about a gallon and a half of total mixed product. It’s cheaper to get a gallon of base compared to buying it by the qt.
Hey men am need here but what the gun pressure set
1) thats what i always wondered in regards to the tack rag. Its a waxy sticky feel and i could never wrap why u would get a CLEAN surface and then put a waxy substance to it.
2) since u are doing black.....why are the doors open? I assume there is gonna be trash everywhere in the paint. Im NOT questioning your ability. Just thought that with the doors wide open, theres no way that there arent gonna be boogers in the paint.
3) Wow, turned out nice
Doors were open for more light. I barricaded the lot off and kept it hosed down from start to finish. No wind that day so it was ideal. Very, very little trash in the job. Nothing that stands out anyway. Lol. I knit pick my jobs after I finish and I’m never satisfied. I’m my own worst critic
Curious why unmask after primer
Because one, if any overspray creeps through the plastic anywhere it gives you time to get it cleaned up. Two, primer or topcoat on plastic will flake off the plastic with the slightest air movement. Sucks when/if it blows off and into your finish product. It does happen. Best to not chance it
Ok someone said cause when pull tape have big line which didn’t make sense to me you spray cars and don’t unmask after every coat which is what I was told to do after every coat which seemed highly ridiculous but I see the difference in plastic moving versus paper tightly taped to windows not moving thanks for reply
Probably way below your skill set, but could you recommend a decent video, or make one, for redoing the inside of a JB Bateau?
