BreamMaster's Jetboat??

How is the 'bluebird' coming along Warren? This time last year I saw the hull with a little bit of 'glass on the side and no deck in sight. Any pics of the progress?

For all those other boat junkies online, here is a pic of a new boat out of QLD which has recently had on-water testing by Dolphin Boats. It even comes with a poling platform and moster pole.

Don't know if I would fancy being in this on a dirty day at the 'pole.

Cheers.

Hi Mark,

Sorry, missed your post. I took a day of work today and did some more spray painting. Here's a few pics:

And one in the daylight..

And here's the painting I did today. Hopefully I'll be flipping it in the next week or so, so I can finish the interior off.

Cheers

Warren.

Warren
that looks sweet mate well done what type and brand of paint are you using

Bream Master · #15 09-05-2006, 04:32 AM

Hi Pete,

The white paint is Altex Marine two pack, over Altex high build epoxy primer.

I then sprayed two pack Kombilack clear over it with a silver mini flake mixed through. Came out great, however the pics don't really pick up the flake (the night pick shows a little of it up the front).

Next I masked out the front colour and flames, before spraying a basecoat in mid blue. Once this had tacked off, I spray about 5 coats of Kombilack with a heap of coarse blue flake mixed through it. The finish came up like a gelcoat flake on a ski boat.

I'll give it a couple of days to harden, then hit it with another 3 coats of clear, rub back with 1200 grit, then give it a final coat of clear before rolling it over.

The flake stands up in the clear, hence the extra coats and rub back to give it a nice smooth finish.

Warren.
