1922 Charles River CS 17 Restoration

I think I may be able to color sand a lot of it out with 800 - 1200. Then polish. It's only paint, and not to hard to get it back to smooth. Just really bummed that this stuff won't lay down.

GTA... I wish. It's a 67 GTV. Pretty close the GTA has at least another zero on the end of the value.

Kirby (from my experience) is very heat sensitive paint...you may end up thinning it a bit more when you roll. Yes, you can sand it back pretty far. I find I can sand off as much in 5 minutes as it takes me an hour to apply...kind of like when we used to use drafting boards, I could erase a couple days worth of lines in a few minutes.....
67 GTA is still a true classic...nice...such great eyeball, really nice and so hard to find in nice shape.

Alright, we had our test run out last night at Denver's City Park. It was a total hoot.

The wife likes it just fine.

This was the view of the lake from where these photos were taken about 100 years ago.

I had the exact same issue on my boat using Kirby's. I did the wet sand and buffing out. It was a lot of extra work I didnt plan on. Next time I will try another brand of paint.

Kirby paint might take a little practice. I roll with a foam roller and tip off with a brush. Maintain a wet edge. I use about an ounce of Penetrol in a quart.

Nice work on the canoe but,
what's a GTA, it doesn't look Detroit.

The GTV is an Alfa Romeo. Basically an Italian Camero.
