    Well Christmas is starting to get here, got most of the parts to throw the lower end together.


    Still waiting on Rod bearings and piston rings, then can start throwing the lower end together.

    while i was organizing everything and getting parts together, i picked up some spray paint at O'Reilly's. It is by Duplicolor and called Metal Cast. My boat has a lot of pieces that were originally Anodized but the anodize is no longer colorful. So i googled this Metalcast stuff and the results looked good online. It is a 2 step process (3 if you add clear). Needless to say, I am very impressed.

    After cleaning
    Step one
    Spray what they call "ground coat" I did one light coat, followed by 2 heavy wet coats



    Step two
    Spray the color coat, this stuff comes in Red, Blue, and Yellow i believe. Same process as before, 1 light coat, then 2 heavy wet coats


    Then for good measure, i sprayed 3 coats of clear ontop of the red

    Heres what the finished product looks like, you can see the red almost matches the anodized rub rail perfectly


    And the carb bowl. Im going to break up the red with the silver (ground coat) I just cleared over the "ground coat"


    The red is really hard to photograph correctly. But its a nice deep red. It almost looks like a pinkish hue in the pics
