Re: Bruce Crandall Flyer Hydroplane

Okay went with the antique (cherry) red (sorry Jayson) ,for now it's okay,due thickness of the coating I'm having some issues with visible primer here and there, I will address and scuff it later just before whole boat receives clear coat, pin striping and other decorations will follow after that. h...
