I have a 1985 Lund Mr. Pike 16 footer I rescued a few years from a resort. I slowly pieced together my project with a new motor and trailer and replaced the floor and carpet inside. It has been a great fishing rig for me, however the paint on the outside doesn't have the sparkle as it use to and it has a few scrapes and bruises here and there. (The paint is intact and great shape otherwise)
Well, if it is an easy task, I thought about tackling painting the red on the boat to give it that fresh look complete with new decals.
I have never painted anything "metal" before and was wondering if this was a task that someone with a little time and patience could tackle.
Tips? Advice? Equipment? Brand of paint? Any and all help is welcomed and appreciated!
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
