WAY WAY WAY TO MANY
Well I don't really know, I had to fill ALL the pinholes with 100% epoxy twice before primer, fairing and primer again. I then painted the red and did not like the result, sand it down again and then more red 7 coats to cover. I then mixed clear and some red "Awlgrip" and shot it to a perfekt finish.
I guess it took about 1 month with drying times in between and all that.

It came out pretty good I think. I also got stiffed by the customer for $1700 to add to the whole thing

A Scarab 38' Rammed him broadside the next season and I refused to repaint it again Victory at last, he had a competitor do the job and he FAILED

Take Care Tony.
