Geoff Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 The first thing was to get the boat off the trailer . without going into specific detail I decided to lift it up , the back on stands , the front suspended from a reinforced roof beam around the bow spit . When about an inch clearance pulled the trailer out The trailer , at the time of taking the photo , rust removed , rust converter applied , & primer . I then applied Galmit & overcoated with a silver paint . There are plenty of products on the market all of which I assume are of good quality. I chose Wattle ( one stop shopping ) as they have the four products required , Converter , primer , Galmit & top coat , A bottle of metho is also required The process took about 3 days , most of the time taken waiting for each coat to dry A tip , a little bit of paint goes a long way so unless u have a very big job the small 250ml can should be enough GeoffI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankS Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Geoff. looking good mate, that's generally the way I do it , but I have a full cradle for the stern and a heavy duty gantry for the front. Don't use the gantry these days so will be selling it. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
