RE: Boat painters
You have several options...we'll keep a typical 48" to 60" hull in mind
1. Find a custom painter and pay him $800 more or less (probably more) for a tricked out paint job.
2. Dealership or body shop. I've heard anywhere from $200 to $400 for a solid color with clearcoat.
3. Spray yourself with the same products availible at a paint jobber at a cost of maybe $150 includes prep materials, basecoat/clearcoat.
4. Rattle can from autoparts store. $4 can of solid color, $4 clearcoat...wetsand and buff.
Here's a pic of a rattle can job I recently did to a plug just before I took a mold of it. This is my own Dreamin' CS just after I wetsanded and buffed the upper hull before I covered it with layers and layers of fiberglass to make moulds. The sides don't look as nice because this boat is only a plug and I already finished the mould for the lower deck and sides.
Take your time and you won't have to spend mega bucks for a nice paint job.
