What do you look for to know your current paint job is in good enough condition you dont need to strip/sand? Most other videos strip/sand down to bare aluminum and it looks like a huge pia that i would rather avoid.
hi i was wanting to know the name of the digital pressure gauge and adapter and the cup you screw on top of your paint gun is called or where to get that set up please and thanks
Hey send it, i hope you see this. Just got this paint and before I destroy my boat. The guy at OHW told and sold me on clear coat activator? 8:1? Your not adding it to the paint, is it needed?
Hey bud I live in Jackson wanted to know more about the stencils and where I can get them and how many I would need for my 16ft mirrocraft aluminum vhul
End product looks great. Mine is olive green, faded, scratched and dinged. Its used for flounder giggin, shrimpin, goin to get oysters so while i could do this, i’m not.
I had it custom mixed to match the Mossy Oak colors. It is a weird brownish green moss color. It was really a paint to get an exact match. If you call OHW they can get close match for you.
How are you liking the OHW paint? Is it holding up well or would you do anything different. I am about to tackle a project and I really appreciate your videos and showing us your learning curves! Very much appreciated!
It has held up great. Even beating it against the dock, some rocks, and a few stumps it only has some minor scratches that I could easily touch up if I wanted too.
Nope... not needed with OHW paint. It sticks to aluminum like crazy. Acid wash and all those products are old school technology before paint companies really figured out how to make paint stick to aluminum.
@@SendItJonBoats Awesome! I'm reading the site and it says no need for primers. I use my boat it mostly saltwater. Is OHW still okay for durability with saltwater without primers, etch, etc?
@@austinvorwald1551 Yes sir, it will work just fine in salt water. The key is to make sure the boat is really clean and you get a good scuff on it right before you paint it. Scotch brite pads and some elbow grease works great, sand blast is even better!
So I think I want to do something like this myself! Question that I haven’t been able to figure out through your vids yet. Maybe I missed it learning all this cool stuff. When you did the interior paint, was that UHW paint? I thought somewhere you said you were going to prime the interior? Just looking for clarification on interior paint with UHW. Great vids and hope to see more.
I originally primed everything with epoxy primer because I was going to use a different paint system. When I couldn't get that paint to dry because of the cold temps I switched to OHW because it was actually drying at 40 degrees.
Was trying to use some older paint I bought several years ago before I switched to OHW. It woulld have worked fine if the temps wouldn't have dropped too low, so I switched to the better OHW paint.
You are absolutely correct it is not for the average guy and by no means cheap... that's why I named it "Like a Pro"... and not "for cheap average joes". It can be done at home, but it is no way cheap. It is easy, just a lot of work and the equipment involved scares most people off. The stencils cost me about $500 total, but I had to have them after the bad experience with the stixs river stencils because this is the camo I wanted.
Good stuff! Love your bloopers lol
Thanks Ethan, appreciate you checking out the video.
What colors did you use for your paint. About to buy some but can’t match from the video
I custom mixed them, talked all about it in the video series
Excellent video, very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
@@SendItJonBoats Yes Sir, now debating between the duromax 18 hp and the predator 22 hp.
I put Gator glide primer on my boat and waiting for Friday to finish in gator glide paint , and then love the primer so far ,,,,
Awesome. I love my GG so far, it is good stuff.

Amazon for both.

Looked on the One Hit Wonder like but there was no information on the paint gun. Can you help?
Just checked, they are out of stock at the moment.... wonderful world we live in right now.
My question is where do I buy the stick on stencils for this pattern
I had them custom made. It was like $700 bucks just for the stencils
Hey send it, i hope you see this.
Just got this paint and before I destroy my boat. The guy at OHW told and sold me on clear coat activator? 8:1? Your not adding it to the paint, is it needed?
Yes sir, I used the OHW clear in the part 3 of this video. I had to separate it into 3 videos because it was so long
Hey bud I live in Jackson wanted to know more about the stencils and where I can get them and how many I would need for my 16ft mirrocraft aluminum vhul
I used about 45 sheets of stencils, I had them custom made, it was expensive about 700 bucks to do the whole boat just for the stencils.
End product looks great. Mine is olive green, faded, scratched and dinged. Its used for flounder giggin, shrimpin, goin to get oysters so while i could do this, i’m not.
LOL, mine will probably end up looking like it went thru hell by the time I beat up on it a little bit.
Where did you get/find the stencil images that you provided to your local vinyl shop?
Can you let me know where you got the stencils made in Covington, Louisiana? I want to get some for my boat project, I’m in NOLA btw.
Im in covington GA, but do not get stencils made like this, Cost way too much money and I will never do it again.
What type of shop did you go to for the stencils
Vinyl shop, they make stickers and stuff like that.
What color is the 2nd color your sprayed? I was looking on OHW and there is quite a few options .
I had it custom mixed to match the Mossy Oak colors. It is a weird brownish green moss color. It was really a paint to get an exact match. If you call OHW they can get close match for you.
Hi, I am not familiar with OHW paint, does the clear coat is necessary or you could just use the standard paint ?
Clear is required for OHW paint.
How are you liking the OHW paint? Is it holding up well or would you do anything different. I am about to tackle a project and I really appreciate your videos and showing us your learning curves! Very much appreciated!
It has held up great. Even beating it against the dock, some rocks, and a few stumps it only has some minor scratches that I could easily touch up if I wanted too.
Thanks man! Keep doing what you do!
It would have been sick if you did this in Cerakote Air Series
The C series doesn't do to good with layering colors.
@@SendItJonBoats ah yeah that’s right, too bad. I still love the way this turned out keep up the good work man.
I just bought a 14ft Jon boat. How much paint did you use in total for this? I want to paint the boat inside and out. No patterns.
3-4 quarts is pretty standard for most boat. That will give you enough to do 2 or 3 good coats, and then you will need 2 quarts of clear coat.
Do you have to paint codes still for mixing ?
I had One Hit Wonder do it, they probably can do it.
Where can these peel and stick stencils be purchased?
I had them custom made at local vinyl shop. Any place that makes vinyl car decals could make them for you. It wasn't cheap at all.
How long after a coat of paint do you need to wait to apply the stickers?
depending on temps. If it is warmer than 75 about 20 minutes. If it is less than 75 I would wait and hour.
Did you use any sort of acid etch wash prior to painting?
Nope... not needed with OHW paint. It sticks to aluminum like crazy. Acid wash and all those products are old school technology before paint companies really figured out how to make paint stick to aluminum.
@@SendItJonBoats Awesome! I'm reading the site and it says no need for primers. I use my boat it mostly saltwater. Is OHW still okay for durability with saltwater without primers, etch, etc?

Thanks Send It!

Yes I am originally from Baton Rouge, but now I live in Covington Georgia.
Bogalusa here🤟🏻
Looks fine , ducks wont care
LOL. Hopefully the ducks fly by and go "ohhh look at that pretty boat, lets go take a closer look!"
Who hood I live in covington toolol
Yee Yee!!1
If this was this awesome paint you always use why didn’t you use it in the first place
Was trying to use some older paint I bought several years ago before I switched to OHW. It woulld have worked fine if the temps wouldn't have dropped too low, so I switched to the better OHW paint.
Doesn’t seem practical for the average guy or low cost DIY... we’re your stencils expensive? I didn’t care for the Red Leg stencils I ordered.
You are absolutely correct it is not for the average guy and by no means cheap... that's why I named it "Like a Pro"... and not "for cheap average joes".
