So yea i order 4 gallons of bottom paint for the boat, it's pretty heavy, but still each box was individually packaged, i have 3 of the 4 and wonder what the hell happened to the 4th, so I email the manufacturer who says they had to reship the 4th cause it was damaged, now that took some work!

 

i sign for the oil, that its undamaged.... like dude, its scratched

 

you would think with all those boats you could just go to the store and buy it.

Had to cost alot to ship them

 

I saved $50 a gallon by buying it direct from the manufacturer and they included shipping on orders over $250 and no tax, so figure i saved about $250 on 4 gallons. And yea it's a 67% copper so the **** is heavy as hell.

 

rofl kevin aka teknics is gonna have fun with this thread

 

True story. When Fedex delivered the replacement batteries for my UPS, they were a day later than the scheduled delivery date, and they were carried to my door by a girl that was like 12 years old. The delivery vehicle was a white minivan, presumably driven by her mother. When I made a remark about the "truck" she laughed and said she was helping out her dad.



That's all well and good, and I'm glad I got my batteries, but I'm not sure what it says about Fedex.

 

4 gallons is alot of paint



what kind of paint is it?

400 square foot a gallon, 30 foot long, 11 foot wide 4.5 foot draft, i figure about a coat a gallon.... best case.

 

your putting 4 coats?



what did you pay?

im figuring that local contact you had could have gotten it for you for about $165 a gallon, which is about what I pay.

 

120, yea he was 170 actually. I'm gonna do 3 coats, min, but i figure their numbers are usually **** on coverage, better to have some extra.
