Hey...
Hey John,
What do you mean made it through the winter. Winter's still here. We got about seven inches yesterday and this AM it was snowing again. Supposed to snow, on and off, until Friday afternoon. Seems like Old Man Winter is fighting to stick around.
Anyway, I spoke with Jerry about clearing over the Gelcoat. What I had done is that I took my body to a local painter and he scuffed up and cleaned the gelcoat finish. He then taped and painted on the stripes. After that, he shot a few coats of clear over the entire body and then buffed it out.
The stripes are buried under the clear so there's no ridges at the edges of the stripes. The clear gave the finish a deeper luster.
As for my engine, it was fine when I put the Cobra to sleep before the Winter. I was hoping to fire it up this week, but with the snow, that won't happen anytime soon.
Everything else is good and I'm just witing patiently for the warmer weather as I have a lot of cruises and shows already on my calendar.
