I thought if I wet sand after first or second basscoat of white ,It would be slick ,then apply the decal;s,then three coats of high car gloss,but your right ,lightly sand if ya want to apply more clear coats after a day or two

Is your boat not white gelcoat?
Why would you want to paint it white again??

150grit sandpaper is very course.
Not meant for wet sanding thats for sure.

Chud, you might be thinking about 1200 grit wet sand paper. I usually scuff gell coat with 600 grit. Them primer and wet sand with 1000 grit. Then primer again and wet sand with 1200. I shoot with water based paint then just use Duplicoler clear coat from the auto parts store. Comes out very smooth and no need to wet sand the clear.

Here is a 26" price I just finished for my son.

thanks for the info bud ,,love that blue,,

[CHUD]

Well bud's everything turned out good ,First I blue taped the hull to make sure no paint gets in the hull,and make sure you also tape the little hole's inside too.Than I wet sand it with 220 vary fine sandpapper,Than I only used one can of interior/exterior flat white,
And As you look I only did the top side,just below the nasty brown line,Know when jeff's cool kicka$$ decal's arrive I'll be ready.
Also I pulled the red wirer out of the rx plug ,in my new t180 ,I'll be running two 6s 30c 22.2v 5000mah,Thank's for lookin out guy's

Thanks for the compliment on my son's boat. He picked the color.

Good job on your boat! That seam line would drive me nuts too. I would have to fill it smooth and paint like you did.

Thank's bud,it was drivin me crazy,I used the only fine sand papper I had p220 and everything looks good,

[JackBlack26]

Rattle can paint it thicker and therefore more forgiving. With the thin water based paints I have been using the hull needs to be baby but smooth or the paint will not fill the imperfections that wouldn't show with rattle can paint.

If you haven't done so yet, scuff the bottom of the hull in a front to back (or back to front) motion to help it break plane easier.
