Wow, great quality and great cinematography! You earned a subscriber. Need a video of you catching a lake monster in the new boat!

If you don't mind, how much did it cost you in paint to do your project and could you remind me how big your boat is? I have a 19 footer I want to do in flake the same color as my pickup truck, but I'm worried it is going to kill my budget.

If you know what your doing, 3-4 quarts of base and about 10-12 quarts of clear should do the trick. Add 1 more quart of each for the trailer. I went through a tremendous learning curve and used much more than that. If I was to redo it today, I could with the quantity listed above. The boat is 14 ft. I used Total Boat Aluminum paint and Diamond Clear coat. Both are very expensive here in Canada at over $100 / quart. I didn’t know how much I would need so kept buying quarts. Buying in bulk is definitely better. Hope this helps and good luck!
