Default Blinged out the cat

Well I figured it was time for a change , I purchased this boat on ebay with an ok paint job but it was faded and I wanted something a bit nicer. I got in touch with Oversprayer (Doug) on this forum who just happens to be 3 hrs. north of me a real standup guy who does excellent work. I did'nt want anything too fancy cause I race this boat so I decided on the Geico theme & I did like the tribal style flames the boat had before so I decided to incorporate some in the new paint scheme. While the boat was down for paint and was all apart anaway I decided to try my hand at some polishing , here's the finished product.

Wow! There's no excuse for someone not seeing that boat on the water in a heat race! I should have put on shades before enlarging the shots!

Very nice looking boat, like the simply paint/decal scheme and you did a very nice job polishing the hardware!

Thanks for all the comments this was my first try at polishing , got a few tips from my buddy and bowored his stand up buffer , it's very addictive anything aluminum can polish out like chrome. Brass , bronze and of course stainless also come out really nice . I polished all my props they came out awsome .Here are some before pics of the boat..........

Nice boat man. Are you gonna be in Brandon this weekend for the race? I wouldn't mind getting a closer look at it.
