TomHugill:
They look stunning! How much was he charging?

red181:

it was over a year ago now, and he couldn't really price the job, as there wasn't really any labour, I seem to recall I paid £50ish, the paint and the pre coat was very expensive, I'm sure he was selling it primarily to USA for £65 for a very small tin!



I guess if I wanted a job doing again, and was prepared to wait until it could go into the booth with another job, I could probably negotiate around the price


Those window frames where made from plasticard, and you can see that my prep let them down. The issue was the edges needed to be sealed to stop water ingress under the paint, which on one or two plastic parts it has. The metal parts however are still perfect, so If I get back into boats (I'm planes now) I would make the frames in thin brass or alloy and get them done again.  the Huntsman was in its day a floating gym palace! :-))
