Two years ago I repainted my 1975 aftcabin 36' uniflite myself and I have never painted anything before. I bought a sprayer at harbor freight for $39:00 and took of the rubrail and had it polished and it now looks like chrome. I painted everything above the rubrail. I painted it on a concrete slap i park my boat on in the off season. The whole job(the painting) with paint and supplies was under five hundred dollars. Yes there was a lot of work sanding and filling stresscracks and priming but it came out really nice. At least that's my opinion and others in my marina. rich
