Since I yanked out 1 engine last weekend, I am interested in fresh'in up my bilge with original cig red paint.
Are there any suggestions on where I can purchase a like-color red. Epoxy, emeron(sp) or ?. Spray or brush on?
It originally looked like it was applied with a mop (it's not so smooth, is that an original look?)
Boat is 1990 Cig Bullet
Thank you,

Have you thought about changing it up to white. I have done 3 and it updates it alot very easy to find a leak also if you get one.

Stan,
Scott and Craig have been great in the past and will P.M them.
Carter,
right now I would like to keep old school only because I am trying to get this beast back in the water this season to spend more money on gas
and eventually, when both engines come out I will most likely go all white-big job- basicly looking for touch up right now.
Purnel- I will look into awlgrip.
Thank you guys

i just redid my cafe and opted to keep the bilge red...just my preference i guess, but i like the old school.
i'm still undecided on the 20 though...i may go white or keep it red...it all depends on whether i decide to completely updat the entire boat as a "restomod" or restore it to original with new updated power...
