I have to make a decision on the hull finish. I am going to sand the entire boat, tape off the bottom, and paint he bottom red, then sand the red part, put the chrome front and rear strips on, seal them and the entire boat with either satin that I have on now, or semigloss urethan, I belive/think? the real boat was more shiny than the satin I have on there now, but not as shiny as the epoxy finishes, I am going to try and find some boats to compare.
