NRG another update .. wife made me go to Gatlinburg or boat would be back together today

Hey all .. I did nothing to the boat in 5 days off on Christmas break emoBang emoBang , the wifey wasn't having any of that ! Yesterday was in the high 60s to low 70s and where was I ? Stuck in horrible traffic in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg for Hours. Was no signs of recession up there!

I did get to go to West Marine a store something like boaters world of by Hamilton Place mall, and BPS .. that was the highlight of the trip ... we bought a 2008 Chevy Uplander LT Mini Van with 20k on the odo on Friday .. and the wife wanted to go on a DAY trip to try it out .. oh speaking of buying it .. holly crap what a hard sell we got at Mtn View Nissan .. they were determined we WERE gonna buy a vehicle!

They just kept coming up wit a better and better offer , every time we said no they said ohh just give us 10 more mins .. that went on for 2 hours .. finally they offered to sell it to us at well below book, almost wholesale price, and gave us $1500 cash back as well to pay a small loan .. I was worn out , but at the end we ended up with a almost new Chevy for less than we were paying for the wife's last car.

Any way .. like I said I got nothing done to the boat .. until today.. Today I finished up all the glass work except the top of the foam boxes, I need to lay glass over the new foam, ( ran out of Resin ) and then Im ready to but the top back on the boat .. I should have it back on by Wed.

here is pics from Today

I cant decide on the white . it has a tad of a greenish tint to it , I may just get some other white, if thats all you have .. I dont know yet .. Im still so far from that point I really dont know for sure yet .. Im right now just concerned with getting the boat back together

How much do you need? I have some other whites but they are bright white.

I dont know how much I need .. I really like the maroon flake you gave me .. thats a awesome color, I may paint almost the whole top cap area that color and just paint the areas in the cock pit and hatch desk areas white, I really dont know how much I will need depends on how many coats it will take to cover over the epoxy primer.. may even paint the hole top white then come back after white dries and spray the maroon flake color over that to make it pop , more depth to the color ?
I just hope this will stand up over time .. Id hate to repaint this every couple years due to scratches .. I see conflicting info .. some say paint .. some say gelcoat is best .. I sure hope I will be happy with the paint

If that is the case we will mix some more of the maroon color to have more coverage and DEPENDING on how much you paint white I may have enough. Don't judge the white until you see it on something. It is the off white you see on alot of chrystler/dodge cars. I painted this boat with a quart of that purple I gave you.
