How fast you recon it will go ? You remember your old mud boat from way back ? That 22 predator what all was done to it ? No governer. Carb work exhaust? Or like internal heavier valve springs and rods to

No gov and upgraded jets as well as exhaust and intake that was it!

Yeah remember that job, will never forget it. I had a 1985 Hydrostream VKing. since I was doing all that work I went ahead and used Klegecell core instead of balsa. Never rot again. Wish I kept that boat.

Yea these boats get much more care when redone nowadays that balsa will last forever! Wish I still had it too but onto the next

On a 1-10 scale, as per the short clip, I rate you 7-8. Once you get the air psi and nozzle adjusted to lay it like you know and want it to, you’ll be a 10. I’ve seen many of your vids and admire your common sense approaches to challenges. Your end products are very nice, cool and they RIP! Just an old man’s opinion of a very talented young man an just the spray-n-lay short clip, I’m sure you’ve already mastered the gun setup so I’ll also rate you a tentative 10! Keep up the good work, it yields good content. Cheers….

What is wrong with the paint is humidity from painting it out side at night I have painted a car at night in a paint booth and it did the same thing
@preston_brown01Ай бұрын
It’s the moisture levels in the air and the temperature. Doesn’t have anything to do with inside or outside pretty sure the weather app will tell you what the dew level is like what temp it has to be to build up. But lesson learned don’t even try to paint if conditions are even close to that.
@preston_brown01Ай бұрын
What happened was after the second coat the dew level hit and it started to build up while I was mixing the third and then I sprayed right over top of it
@sammyboswelldirtybrc7580Ай бұрын
Can’t paint late in the evening outside during winter months the dew will get u every time

Oh really? 🤣🤣 thanks for letting me know… lmao it was like 85+ out but it’s Fl an the time changed the day I sprayed so it got dark hour early but it was the third coat that did it… the second coat dried I should’ve left it like that, but I used up the last bit of paint I had and I sprayed over the little bit of dew that built up on 2nd coat while I was mixing the 3rd.
